-Select the recent commit and right click on it than select Reset Current Branch to Here.

You originally asked which strategy argument to use with git pull to discard your own work (there is a pending edit that will change the question, if the edit is approved). The answer is: None.

Don't use git pull at all. Run git fetch first:

git fetch origin

This brings over all the new stuff from the other Git you have your Git calling "origin".

Now that you have everything they have, simply stop using what you have been using, and switch to theirs:

git reset --hard origin/master   # assuming you're on your "master"

You may also want to use git clean -fdx to remove build artifacts, but that's a separate issue.
