Xcode 14.1 automatically modifies the project.pbxproj file. How to discard this change?

I am running one iOS/Swift project in Xcode 14.1. Git showing project.pbxproj file modified. A few days back I merged some branches and pushed the changes. The branch is working for others but causing an issue for me. Even I did not modify any file after the push. I want to discard this local change. Please help me.

I tried to remove the changes with help of the following commands.

1. $git checkout . 
2. $git clean -d -f

The change is disappear for a second after executing git checkout . but again shows the same changes after some time. After running the checkout terminal show the *Updated 1 path from the index* message. I tried to discard changes from the source tree but after refreshing it again showed modify.

Git difference is showing same file is added and deleted on same folder location. enter image description here
