Well you don't. Often you just can leave modified files in place while switching branches. If it's not working, you still can simply git stash before switching. git stash creates a temporary branch and commits your local changes to that branch. git stash apply lets you get back those changes, even if you're on a different branch than before (it's just like a git merge stash). I found the book "Version control with git" quite useful. Yes it's somehow strange to need a book for a simple tool like a VCS, but git's features are IMHO worth having to read a little.
