-Resets the local `master` branch to match the one on the remote.
+If you've ever worked with Git, chances are you've encountered a situation where your local `master` branch is **out of sync with the remote**. This can happen if you've made some local changes to the `master` branch and want to reset it to match the one on the remote.
 
-- Use `git fetch origin` to retrieve the latest updates from the remote.
-- Use `git checkout master` to switch to the `master` branch.
-- Use `git reset --hard origin/master` to reset the local `master` branch to match the one on the remote.
+The first step to fix this is to make sure you have the **latest updates** from the remote. You can do this by using `git fetch origin`. After that, you can **switch** to the `master` branch using `git checkout master` and **reset** it to match the one on the remote using `git reset --hard origin/master`.
 
 ```shell
-git fetch origin
-git checkout master
-git reset --hard origin/master
+# Syntax
+#  git fetch origin
+#  git checkout master
+#  git reset --hard origin/master
 
-# Examples
 git fetch origin
 git checkout master
 git reset --hard origin/master
 # Local `master` branch is now up to date with remote `master`
 ```
+
+> [!TIP]
+>
+> You can follow this process for **any branch**, not just `master`. Simply replace `master` with the name of the branch you want to reset.
