Git update local files with remote branch

Question

I have checkout branch and have made some changes. I want to overwrite the changes with the changes from same remote branch. I don't want to save the local changes made.

I tried git pull : It says "Already up to date" . But my local changes are still there.

You have to reset the HEAD of the git repository to the one of your remote branch.

git reset --hard @{u}

@{u} points to the last commit on the remote branch. --hard discard all changes made.
