This depends on what you want to do. If you want to keep your local
changes, you need to commit them before the pull. Committing something
into git is a 2-stage process. First, the modified files need to be
'added' to the set of files to be committed, followed by committing
them. You could do a summary commit,

git commit -m 'recent work' -a

This would add both modified files and afterwards commit them using
'recent work' as commit message. But using something more descriptive is
a better idea. In case you're unsure what was changed, git diff can be
used to display the changes. You can execute that either as

git diff

to get a listing of all changes or with an additional filename argument.
Individual files can then be committed with

git commit -m '<description>' -a /path/to/file

(the -a means 'add before committing so a separate git add ... isn't
needed).

If you want to discard your changes, you can do so file-by-file with

git checkout /path/to/file

or summarily with

git reset --hard
