How do I unstage/delete files that have been deleted in the remote Git repo?

Question

I have seen multiple questions about how to remove file that have been deleted locally from the remote repo, but my question is the reverse. Some files were moved/deleted in the remote repo, I want to delete the corresponding files from my local repo too. How do I do this?

Eg:

My root has directories foo , bar and baz . A remote commit moved bar and baz to a new directory archive . Now when I pull, I have foo , archive (with the two new directories under it), bar and baz .

Answer 1

Try

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master

Assuming you're in the origin branch and want to sync with master

Answer 2

Use git clean to remove untracked directories, I believe git pull will delete files but not empty directories.

Try:

git clean -fd
