git - How can I discard modified files?

Question

This is a Linux 2.6 kernel repository. I git clone it to my local host.

After that. I didn't make any change. But when I "git status". I found 13 modified files. I want to discard them, but I can't.

Answer 1

A git reset --hard HEAD should solve the problem.
