git-sync
Hard-reset a branch to match its remote, cleaning untracked files
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
git sync [remote branch] [-s | --soft] [-f | --force]
DESCRIPTION
git sync is a git-extras command that fetches the given (or upstream-tracked) remote branch and then runs `git reset --hard` to make the current branch match it exactly. Unless `-s`/`--soft` is given, it also runs `git clean -d -f -x` afterward, deleting every untracked and ignored file in the working tree.It asks for confirmation before running unless `-f`/`--force` is passed.
PARAMETERS

Remote and branch to sync with; defaults to the current branch's configured upstream.-s, --soft
Skip `git clean -d -f -x` after resetting, keeping untracked and ignored files.-f, --force

INSTALL
CAVEATS
This is destructive: local commits not on the remote, uncommitted changes, and (without `-s`) untracked/ignored files are all discarded. It is not a fetch-and-rebase or fetch-and-merge; unlike `git pull`, divergent local work is thrown away rather than integrated.
