Do a Git pull to overwrite local changes

Question

There has certainly been posts around for this, but I actually did a commit because I thought it was the right thing to do.

So, I have two repositories, one development

Answer 1

If you want to entirely replace your local branch foo with the contents of the remote branch origin/foo:

git fetch origin
git checkout foo
git reset --hard origin/foo

If you want to do something else, please reword your question. However, I might add the production Git repository as a remote and then merge the live changes in, instead of whatever you tried.
