Let us consider a situation,

• We are creating a website with many features by two developers ‘A’ and ‘B’. And currently the template is being
• created by the dev ‘A’.
• The dev ‘A’ forgets to add the icons in source control, but puts them in a directory.
• Later on dev ‘B’ adds the icons under the source control and pushes them to Github.
• But nowdev ‘A’ is unable to pull the files.

• So in such a situation, in order to update these files locally, dev’A’ would have to use the below commands,

  git fetch — all

  This command will fetch remote changes from all branches to local repository and it does not affect the working directory.

  git reset — hard origin/master

  This command will remove all uncommitted changes from your working directory.
