Git and TortoiseSVN, how do i undo my changes in local repository without cloning the remote repo again

Question

i have the below commands to update my repository, which will update my library using TortoiseSVN and source with Git.

But i want to undo all the changes i made and replace it with what's there in the master repo.

cd lib\win64_vc12
svn update
cd ..\..\project
git pull --rebase
git submodule foreach git pull --rebase origin master

I researched and found its

git reset --hard origin/master

but i am not sure,how i do it with this,i am new to git, i don't want to re-clone the repo,as its huge.

Need your kind help,thank you

why will you reset to a branch you can only reset to a specific commit in a specific branch. – vivek verma Mar 01 '16 at 10:31

The simple way is simply to delete the "dirty" branch and checkout the new branch from your local repo

# delete the local master branch
git branch -D master

# checkout the latest branch without the need to clone the repository again
git checkout origin/masetr
