Cloning over network can be easily avoided by using local clones. And to reset 'master' [and abandon your current changes to it] - you could either do: git checkout someotherbranch git branch -D master git checkout master or git checkout master git reset --hard origin/master Also 'git-prompt.sh' helps in tracking changes to any giving 'branch' wrt 'origin/branch'.. [assuming you do a 'git fetch' to sync changes from remote repo] Satish
