dolt-fetch: Update branches with the current state of the remote, overwriting any conflicting history.
$ dolt fetch -f
try on your machine

The command "dolt fetch -f" is used in the Dolt version control system.

Here's an explanation of each part:

  • "dolt" refers to the Dolt command-line tool that is used to interact with Dolt repositories. Dolt is a distributed version control system that adds a SQL database to Git.
  • "fetch" is a command used to retrieve changes from a remote Dolt database and update the local repository to reflect those changes.
  • "-f" or "--force" is an optional flag. When used with the "fetch" command, it forces the update by overwriting local changes without prompting for confirmation.

So, "dolt fetch -f" is used to forcefully fetch changes from a remote Dolt database and update the local repository, discarding any local changes without asking for confirmation.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
