\u26a0 Warning:<\/h2>\n

Any uncommitted local changes to tracked files will be lost.<\/p>\n

Any local files that are not<\/em> tracked by Git will not be affected.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

First, update all origin\/<branch><\/code> refs to latest:<\/p>\n

git fetch --all\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Backup your current branch (e.g. master<\/code>):<\/p>\n
git branch backup-master\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Jump to the latest commit on origin\/master<\/code> and checkout those files:<\/p>\n
git reset --hard origin\/master\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Explanation:<\/h3>\n
git fetch<\/code> downloads the latest from remote without trying to merge or rebase anything.<\/p>\n
git reset<\/code> resets the master branch to what you just fetched. The --hard<\/code> option changes all the files in your working tree to match the files in origin\/master<\/code>.<\/p>\n
\n
Maintain current local commits<\/h3>\n
[*]<\/sup>: It’s worth noting that it is possible to maintain current local commits by creating a branch from master<\/code> before resetting:<\/p>\n
git checkout master\ngit branch new-branch-to-save-current-commits\ngit fetch --all\ngit reset --hard origin\/master\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
After this, all of the old commits will be kept in new-branch-to-save-current-commits<\/code>.<\/p>\n
Uncommitted changes<\/h3>\n
Uncommitted changes, however (even staged), will be lost. Make sure to stash and commit anything you need. For that you can run the following:<\/p>\n
git stash\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
And then to reapply these uncommitted changes:<\/p>\n
git stash pop\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
