      We'll begin with the following assumptions: you have a user branch that is tracking a remote/upstream, you have local edits that you want to discard and you want to reset local to the latest remote/upstream commit.

      Confirm local changes

      Make sure you know what changes you're about to lose. If you want to preserve anything for later, you can use stash: 

        
  git status

      Alternative: Clear files

      Consider whether you can use a simple method to remove untracked files instead of reseting the branch. You can try git clean or checkout:

        
  git clean -f

      Remove all untracked files.

        
  git checkout .

      Remove all unstaged changes in my working tree.

      Reset to the latest commit on remote / upstream

      This will remove all local changes.

        
  git reset --hard HEAD

      The result is the same as re-cloning the repository.

Here's a quick git guide to help you create a local branch, push your local branch to a remote and delete your local or remote branch.

      For the code examples, we'll follow the user/id/task pattern and use "u/mrathee/contact-form-fix" as the branch name.

      To create your branch:

      Make sure your current branch is up to date before you create your branch.

        
  git pull --rebase
  

        
  git checkout -b u/mrathee/contact-form-fix

      Rather than running git branch then git checkout, you can pass "-b" to checkout combine the steps.

      To push a local git branch to remote:

      The "-u" argument will set your branch to track the remote. Just make sure your .

        
  git push -u origin u/mrathee/contact-form-fix

      To delete a local branch:

        
    git branch -d u/mrathee/contact-form-fix

      To delete a remote branch:

        
    git push origin --delete u/mrathee/contact-form-fix
