For example, I am working on branch1 and I want to 'git pull' code from branch2. However, I 'git pull' code from branch3 instead of branch2. How can I redo the 'git pull' command? (delete the code from branch2)

    just `git reset --hard sha` with sha the commit it of branch1 before pull – Ôrel Dec 18 '21 at 09:49

    A pull is just a fetch + a merge. Look for how to undo a merge. – Schwern Dec 18 '21 at 10:27
  • Do you confuse `git pull`, that syncs with a *remote repository* with `git switch` that changes branches? I down voted because [No research](http://idownvotedbecau.se/noresearch/) – Timothy Truckle Dec 18 '21 at 19:05

If you just pulled, as described in "Undo git pull, how to bring repos to old state", a simple git reset --hard custom-branch@{1} should be enough, assuming you have no work in prigress (or it would be lost, erased by the reset --hard)

You can then git fetch, and git merge origin/anyBranchYouNeed, to make the pull you want.

You can use

git reset --hard <commit-id>

(kindly commit your code before that, --hard will make you loose the uncommitted changes)
