Git - How to force pull from an upstream remote and ignore commits in your local and remote?

I want to pull from from an upstream branch and I want to ignore all commits made by me in my local and my remote on git. I only want the changes from the upstream remote.

I am having issues with:

git pull upstream master

And I do not want to manually merge them. I just want to ignore all my local changes and the above command to work.

I tried:

git reset --hard

But that doesn't seem to work for me. I want the changes from the upstream.

Another way to achieve this which I have now found is, you can remove all changes in your branch with

git checkout .

Once your branch is clean, you can checkout another branch with:

git checkout <anotherbranchname>

Now you can delete the old branch locally by running:

git branch -d <branchtoremovelocalchanges>

Now you can go to that branch again with:

git checkout <branchtoremovelocalchanges>

and now you will see everything the way it is on the server. I know this is a more roundabout way of achieving what the first answer suggests, but its another option.

You need to specify the remote name because it is equal to origin by default

git reset --hard upstream/master
