git sync [remote branch] [-s | --soft] [-f | --force]

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.

REMOTE BRANCH

Remote and branch to sync with; defaults to the current branch's configured upstream.

Skip `git clean -d -f -x` after resetting, keeping untracked and ignored files.

Skip the confirmation prompt.

Display usage information.

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.
