Full sync has few tasks   reverting changes removing new files get latest from remote repository   git reset HEAD --hard git clean -f git pull origin master  Or else  what I prefer is that  I may create a new branch with the latest from the remote using  git checkout origin master -b  lt new branch name gt   origin is my remote repository reference  and master is my considered branch name  These may different from yours

I believe what you are looking for is  quot git restore quot   The easiest way is to remove the file locally  and then execute the git restore command for that file    rm file txt   git restore file txt

If you want to overwrite only one file   git fetch git checkout origin master  lt filepath gt    If you want to overwrite all changed files   git fetch git reset --hard origin master    This assumes that you re working on master locally and you want the changes on the origin s master - if you re on a branch  substitute that in instead

Simplest version  assuming you re working on the same branch that the file you want is on     git checkout path to file   I do this so often that I ve got an alias set to gc  git checkout
