@BKeyport Does the git reset --hard not work for you?

BKeyport

I did not know about this command, what does it actually do? (I know, it does a hard reset, but what does that entail?)

@BKeyport I simple terms, it gets rid of local changes.

BKeyport

Ahh, I see - it looks dangerous from what I’ve seen - would it kill my config.js and/or custom.css, or does it leave those alone?

mumblebaj

@BKeyport From my experience they don’t get touched. I have never had any issues with my mirror or modules after running that command and updating the mirror.

@BKeyport - It should leave those alone. config.js and custom.css are not part of the github project so they won’t be overwritten.
