Hard reset a working copy to the remote branch

git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/main

Fetches the current state from the remote origin and sets the current branch, the index and all tracked files exactly to it. Typically used on deployment servers when git pull fails because of local changes or diverging history. Untracked files such as uploads remain untouched.

Note: Local uncommitted changes are lost afterwards. Discarded local commits can still be rescued for a while via git reflog.
