Reset local branch to match remote branch
$ git fetch ${remote}
$ git reset --hard ${remote}/${branch}
try on your machine

The command "git fetch ${remote}" retrieves the latest changes from the specified remote repository. The variable ${remote} represents the name of the remote repository.

The command "git reset --hard ${remote}/${branch}" resets your current local branch to reflect the state of the specified remote branch. The variable ${branch} represents the name of the branch in the remote repository.

In summary, the combination of these two commands fetches the latest changes from the remote repository and then updates your local branch to match the state of the remote branch. The "--hard" option in the second command discards any local changes you have made and replaces them with the remote branch's content.
