Setting your branch to exactly match the remote branch can be done in two steps:
git fetch origin
git reset –hard origin/master

git checkout origin/master — src/main/java/HelloWorld.java
git commit -m “Removed files from PR”

# Add a new remote upstream repository
git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git
# Sync your fork
git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git merge upstream/master
git remote add upstream <>
If you need to remove a single file from the staging area, use
git reset HEAD — <file>

git submodule foreach –recursive git checkout .
git submodule update –force –recursive –init –remote
