How can I discard modified files?

Question

This is a Linux 2.6 kernel repository. I git clone it to my local host.

After that. I didn\'t make any change. But when I \"git status\". I found 13 modified files.

Answer 1

If you would like to remove all the files and modifications that differ from your origin branch but would like to keep all the ignored files (ex. node_modules, .vscode, .idea etc..) the best choice is to combine these two commands:

 git reset --hard && git clean -f

This will reset all modified files and will clean all the unstaged ones.
