If you are using Git GUI  first fetch then merge   Fetch via Remote menu    Fetch    Origin  Merge via Merge menu    Merge Local   The following dialog appears      Select the tracking branch radio button  also by default selected   leave the yellow box empty and press merge and this should update the files   I had already reverted some local changes before doing these steps since I wanted to discard those anyways so I don t have to eliminate via merge later

It sounds to me like you re having core autocrlf-problems  core autocrlf true can give problems like the ones you describe on Windows if CRLF newlines were checked into the repository  Try disabling core autocrlf for the repository  and perform a hard-reset

If you don t care about any local changes  including untracked or generated files or subrepositories which just happen to be here  and just want a copy from the repo   git reset --hard HEAD git clean -xffd git pull   Again  this will nuke any changes you ve made locally so use carefully  Think about rm -Rf when doing this

You have to merge your files first  Do a git status to see what are the files that need to be merged  means you need to resolve the conflicts first   Once this is done  do git add file merged and do your pull again

To answer your questions there are simply two steps -  Pull the latest changes from your git repo using git pull Clean your local working directory having unstaged changes using git checkout --    This will show the latest changes in your local repo from your remote git repo  cleaning all the local unstaged changes   Please note git checkout --   will discard all your changes in the local working directory  In case you want to discard any change for selective file use git checkout --  lt filename gt   And in case you don t want to lose your unstaged changes use git stash as it will clean your local working directory of all the unstaged changes while saving it if you need it in the future

I suspect that what s happened may be that you ve deleted the files that you modified  because you didn t care about those changes  and now git is taking the deletion to be a change   Here is an approach that moves your changes out of your working copy and into the  stash   retrievable should it actually turn out that you ever need them again   so you can then pull the latest changes down from the upstream   git stash   git pull   If you ever want to retrieve your files  potential conflicts with upstream changes and all   run a git stash apply to  stick those changes on top of your code   That way  you have an  undo  approach

I understand you want to trash your local changes and pull down what s on your remote    If all else fails  and if you re  quite understandably  scared of  reset   the simplest thing is just to clone origin into a new directory and trash your old one

If you just want to throw away everything in your working folder  eg the results of a failed or aborted merge  and revert to a clean previous commit  do a git reset --hard
