How to Force Git to overwrite local files on pull?
Let us consider a situation,
- We are creating a website with many features by two developers ‘A’ and ‘B’. And currently the template is being
- created by the dev ‘A’.
- The dev ‘A’ forgets to add the icons in source control, but puts them in a directory.
- Later on dev ‘B’ adds the icons under the source control and pushes them to Github.
- But nowdev ‘A’ is unable to pull the files.
-
So in such a situation, in order to update these files locally, dev’A’ would have to use the below commands,
git fetch — all
This command will fetch remote changes from all branches to local repository and it does not affect the working directory.
git reset — hard origin/master
This command will remove all uncommitted changes from your working directory.
