How do I git pull -f

Where is

git pull --force

as in rm -rf and then git clone again from scratch?

End result should be git diff returns nothing.

In addition to the other answers, I would also add a git clean -fdx to remove all untracked files and directories, to avoid potential issues with files being added in the remote repository, but also present in the current clone.

git clean -fdx
git fetch
git reset --hard origin/master

Reset your working directory back to the latest pull:

git reset --hard

Then pull as usual

You use git fetch to fetch everything from the remote repository. Then you can just git reset --hard origin/master to reset your current branch to origin’s master and reset your working directory.
