Want to nuke your local changes and check HEAD back out?
There are plenty of reasons to want to overwrite your local changes to a git repository and check out a clean copy of HEAD. To do that, just issue this command.
git add .; git reset --hard HEADThe git add . command makes git aware of any new files that have been created, and the subsequent command tells git to discard all of it.
