    The inofficial Git manual at xkcd 1597 recommends that, too. ;-)

    How does anyone even come to that point? Learn git (and how to solve merge conflicts). That helps.

    I once did this without saving the QT user file (it was .gitignored) ... That resulted in me spending a lot of time rebuilding all build-, debug- and run configurations by hand -.-

    I'm always amazed how many people won't take 15 minutes to learn how to use git properly. It's not that hard, and will improve your developer life a lot.

    @anroven right? How hard is it just to resolve the merge conflict?

    Erm... What?

    git reset --hard origin/master

    Case closed.

    @uyouthe that would only undo the merge attempt. Same as
    git merge --abort

    @Yamakuzure If you haven't committed, try
    git stash
    git pull
    git stash pop

    @Mitiko it doesn't matter whether you
    * commit->merge->conflict or
    * stash->pull->pop->conflict.

    With the merge you can at least use "-X theirs" ; which might get you around the conflicts.
