My definition of sync is

  • Pull latest commits
  • Push latest commits

Why does it also do a hard reset?

Research direction

Start by tracing the implementation of the git sync command and identify where the hard reset occurs. Compare its behavior with the issue's stated pull-and-push definition of sync; done means the command no longer unexpectedly resets local changes, with tests covering the intended behavior.
