git pull: replace local version with the remote version

Question

There is something I don\'t understand with the git pull command. I have a foobar Git repository with two files, named f1 and f2

Answer 1

To reset specific files, use git checkout:

git checkout HEAD f1
git checkout HEAD f2

You could possibly also use wildcards (*), but I've never tried.
