📥 How to Reset and Start Again
Method 1: Reset your current branch
This will discard all local changes and make the local branch exactly match the remote.
# First, make sure you're on the right branch
git checkout release/v3.1.0
# Fetch the latest changes from remote
git fetch origin
# Reset your local branch to match the remote version
git reset --hard origin/release/v3.1.0
Method 2: Fresh checkout (if you want to start completely fresh)
# First, move to a safe location (if you have unsaved work)
git stash
# Then checkout the release branch, forcing a clean copy
git checkout -f release/v3.1.0
# Update to the latest version from remote
git pull origin release/v3.1.0
⚠️ Note: Both methods will discard any uncommitted changes! If you have work you want to keep, commit it to a temporary branch first:
# Save your current work to a temporary branch
git checkout -b my-temp-work
git add .
git commit -m "Saving my work before reset"
# Now you can safely reset and come back to this branch later if needed
