Git pull has merge conflict

Git pull has merge conflict

[Noorul Islam]

I am not sure why this conflict is arising even after resetting to
head and then doing a pull

$ noorul@sajida:~/emacs/org-mode$ git reset --hard
HEAD is now at ba6b6f3 Merge branch 'master' of git://repo.or.cz/org-mode

$ noorul@sajida:~/emacs/org-mode$ git pull
Auto-merging ORGWEBPAGE/index.org
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in ORGWEBPAGE/index.org
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

Thanks and Regards
Noorul

Because you reset to master, which is your copy, rather than resetting
to origin/master, which would discard local changes.

Btw I did not have any local changes/commits. But still the merge failed.

Thank you!
