Git: Force `git pull` to overwrite local files

When you run git pull, does the command fail with an error message indicating that local files will be overwritten? If so then let’s see how to force git pull to execute anyway?

Using git stash is the most straightforward and secure method for accomplishing this. This command will restore a repository to the state of its most recent commit and save any modifications made to its working directory since then. To retrieve remote changes, you can then use the git pull command. In order to reapply the uncommitted changes on top of the new commits, run git stash pop.
