git - How do I overwrite my local repo with the one on github? -

I got an out-of-date repo with nothing to add on my machine. I got the latest stable branch from Gitub I want to draw

Should I Clone It? I'm not sure.

I think you should be able to fetch all the files, then reset them to the original :

  git fetch --all git reset - hard root / master   
 You can probably do it in any order, too.  
 If you added any files that have not been tracked, clear:  
  git clean -f   
 The advantage of this approach when cloning a new directory is that you still have some history / if you do not care about that data exactly, then the approach is okay.
