How to discard all changes made to a branch?

Question

I\'m working in a branch (i.e. design) and I\'ve made a number of changes, but I need to discard them all and reset it to match the repository version. I thought

Answer 1

git reset --hard can help you if you want to throw away everything since your last commit

Answer 2

If you don't want any changes in design and definitely want it to just match a remote's branch, you can also just delete the branch and recreate it:

# Switch to some branch other than design
$ git br -D design
$ git co -b design origin/design            # Will set up design to track origin's design branch

Answer 3

git checkout -f

This is suffice for your question. Only thing is, once its done, its done. There is no undo.
