Later I pulled updates again and that merged with my patches. Now I want to throw away my patches, how do I get a clean working repo that is a 100% clone of the remote repo? -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 唐詩285 張祜 集靈臺二首之二 虢國夫人承主恩 平明騎馬入宮門 卻嫌脂粉污顏色 淡掃蛾眉朝至尊 ``` ## Dilip M, 2009-02-23 12:14 Subject: Re: how to reset to remote repo Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/c94f8e120902230414v33d36acelc3dc39861646539a%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20090223105546.GA7425@b2j> ``` git reset --hard HEAD -- BR, Dilip On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 4:25 PM, bill lam wrote: > I cloned some public git repos and made some local patches.

For example if I already made several patches interleaved with several fetch/update, or if I rebase to remove the orgin/master? -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 唐詩286 張祜 題金陵渡 金陵津渡小山樓 一宿行人自可愁 潮落夜江斜月裡 兩三星火是瓜州 ``` ## Sitaram Chamarty, 2009-02-23 15:50 Subject: Re: how to reset to remote repo Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/slrngq5her.6l3.sitaramc%40sitaramc.homelinux.net In-Reply-To: <20090223145722.GB7422@b2j> ``` On 2009-02-23, bill lam wrote: > On Mon, 23 Feb 2009, Sitaram Chamarty wrote: >> git reset --hard origin/master >> >> This is a very simple question, and may be quicker on irc >> :-) > > Does it always work?

I'm not sure why a rebase of any kind would remove a remote brancg but you can always do 'git fetch' first if you accidentally messed up origin/master. ``` ## bill lam, 2009-02-23 23:19 Subject: Re: how to reset to remote repo Message-ID: <20090223231928.GA7406@b2j> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090223231928.GA7406%40b2j In-Reply-To: ``` On Mon, 23 Feb 2009, Sitaram Chamarty wrote: > I'm not sure why a rebase of any kind would remove a remote > brancg but you can always do 'git fetch' first if you > accidentally messed up origin/master. Thanks. Incidentally I just found that I could git reset just before my first patch and then git pull again. -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 唐詩226 王維 送別 山中相送罷 日暮掩柴扉 春草明年綠 王孫歸不歸 ```
