If you want to force Git to overwrite your local files during a git pull, you can use the --force or -f option with the git reset command to discard all of your local changes and make your local copy of the repository match the remote copy.
Here are the steps you can follow to force Git to overwrite local files:
First, run git fetch to download the latest changes from the remote repository.
Next, use the git reset command with the --hard option to reset your local repository to the state of the remote repository. This will discard any local changes you have made and overwrite your local files with the files from the remote repository.
git reset --hard origin/<branch>
Replace <branch> with the name of the branch you want to reset.
Finally, run git pull to merge any new changes that were fetched in step 1.
git pull
This step is necessary to update any local branches that may have been updated on the remote repository since your last git fetch command.
Please note that using git reset --hard can be dangerous, as it will discard any local changes you have made and cannot be undone. Make sure to backup any important changes before running this command.
