To force git pull
to overwrite local files and discard changes, you can use the following steps:
- Stash or Commit your local changes (optional, if you want to save them later):
bash
git stash
- Force pull with a hard reset:
bash
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/branch_name
This will reset your local branch to match the remote, overwriting any local changes.
- Pull after reset (if necessary):
bash
git pull origin branch_name
This approach will ensure that your local files are completely overwritten by the remote version of the branch.
