git reset --hard origin/master
This assumes your remote repo has the default local ref origin, and you are on the master branch. To check this you can run git branch -r and you should see something like origin/HEAD -> origin/master as one row in the result.
As the comments rightly point out, the --hard option is going to irrevocably remove any local changes. Be sure this is what you want to do.

Be VERY careful of using `reset --hard` it is difficult recover from this if you loose information – Liam Nov 10 '20 at 14:20

suggests there are no commits on your branch, ie master has no initial commit. Maybe. – gingerbreadboy Nov 10 '20 at 14:37

I was lucky that there was still the hashes on the Terminal at the last changes (commits). It was enough to write: git reset --hard 3aabb82 – Robert-Dan Nov 10 '20 at 15:55
