How to reset repository to match remote

Go into project root directory.

Open git bash or terminal, and type git fetch. This updates your system on what remote changes have taken place.

Then, type git reset --hard origin/master.

This resets your current branch completely (both staged and unstaged changes, excluding ignored files) to the contents of the remote/origin branch of master. Note that you can replace master with any other remote branch (i.e origin/YEL-001/Test and this will update your branch to to the latest commit on that branch as well.
