Answer 1

I was working on a libGDX project on Android Studio and I wanted to discard all the changes that I have done, and nothing was working for me, the solution I came up with was to commit all the changes into a new branch

git checkout -b TRASH
git add .
git commit -m "discarded changes"
git checkout master

and then you can delete the TRASH branch if you want.
