title: How do I overwrite changes on my local copy
body: <p>I ran <code>git pull origin master</code> and I get the following message because I have my changes in a single file. What command should I issue so that the changes are overwritten on my local copies.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
  Updating 7sc4344..c81c437
  error: Your local changes to 'foo.txt' would be overwritten by merge.  Aborting.
  Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.</li>
  </ul>
