Alternative: Resetting a Branch with git checkout
If you want to reset your branch without losing uncommitted changes, you can use git checkout
to create a new branch from the remote branch and then switch to it:
git checkout -B branch-name origin/branch-name
his command creates a new branch named branch-name
based on origin/branch-name
and switches to it.
How to Reset a Git Branch to a Remote Repository?
Resetting a Git branch to match a remote repository is a common task, particularly when you want to discard local changes and make your branch identical to the remote counterpart. This can be useful in scenarios where your local branch has diverged from the remote, and you want to synchronize it with the remote repository.
