title: Git Pull Issue within the Linux server Without Local Copy
body: <p>So, I have a developer who has a bitbucket account, and he updates the code into the bitbucket server and as I have access to the Linux server I pull the files via git pull. Now whenever I do that I get the following error:-</p>
  
  <p>error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
          8.php
  Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
  Aborting</p>
  
  <p>The interesting thing is I don't have any local copy in my system, I just log into the server and pull the code which the developer has updated. Whenever I try to do git -status it does show some unstaged files. How should I solve the issue, and can anyone let me know why is this happening?</p>
