If you want remove all local changes - including files that are untracked by git - from your working copy, simply stash them:
git stash push --include-untracked
If you don't need them anymore, you now can drop that stash:
git stash drop
If you don't want to stash changes that you already staged - e.g. with git add - then add the option --keep-index. Note however, that this will still prevent merging if those staged changes collide with the ones from upstream.
If you want to overwrite only specific parts of your local changes, there are two possibilities:
Commit everything you don't want to overwrite and use the method above for the rest.
Use
git checkout path/to/file/to/revertfor the changes you wish to overwrite. Make sure that file is not staged viagit reset HEAD path/to/file/to/revert.

This works for me to override all local changes and does not require an identity:
git reset --hard
git pull
Error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge
Moodle in English: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: | Moodle.org
Update not working: error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: package-lock.json Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
How do you prevent a local file from being overwritten by a more recent remote file?
If you run git pull, by default you'll overwrite all files, even those you most definitely do not want to be modified (e.g., configuration files with database details). I've tried to Google this issue, but it doesn't seem straightforward. I don't understand how this isn't an everyday concern for production servers. Any help is appreciated!
I am in my Docker local and am unable to pull my branch due to the error that I have files that conflict with the remote - however it is not giving me the option to merge the files. The below shell operation will clarify my issue - please help me how to merge changes made to remote into local:
root@c3c03a8f5468:/var/www# git status On branch barber Your branch is behind 'origin/barber' by 4 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.

Hi!
SD started showing this error when I try to run it.
how do I fix it?
I have 0 knowledge of programing so please explain to me as if I were a kid.
Copy git webui-users.bat (windows) or webui-users.sh (linux) somewhere else then do:
git reset --hard HEAD
git pull
This will nuke al local changes and pull the newest version. Then open your systems webui-users file and the new one in a text editor and copy the settings you changed to the new file. Those are usually file paths, virtual environment paths and the statup flags (--medvram --api etc, depends on what you used).
did you modify you webui-user.bat to have git pull?
If so, it's just trying to update.
If not, give more information.
You can either commit your changes before you do the merge, or you stash them:
git stash save
git pull
git stash pop
Then, add your changes and push to master:
git add .
git commit -m 'your message'
git push -u origin master
This will help you working even in a team.
Deleting a file is changing it. You want those two files to be "unchanged". If you want to keep any changes you've done (including deletion), you should either stash or commit. Stashing would require unstashing (git stash pop or git stash apply), while committing will probably result in a conflict which you must resolve. If you just want to revert any changes (throw them away, not interested in keeping them), you can git checkout -- buf.cpp buf.h to restore them, then try the pull.
