I'm totally new to Git and this may or may not be the place to ask such basic questions. Feel free to redirect me if I chose the wrong door, as it were.
Background - out company is a windows shop. I have the opportunity to introduce something other than VSS. But that is what I have the most familiarity with I have been reading and experimenting and one thing I have come across that is confusing me - and I'm sure it is a concept issue. If I have a local project I am working on. C:\The Project - which contains the usual visual studio project tree, .sln, project directory, .cs files, debug/bin. I then configure that C:\TheProject as a git repository. And then create a branch - My CoolNewStuff. If I make a change in MyCoolNewStuff, and commit it, that change shows up as a change in the master branch. And will also show up if I make another branch called OtherNeatStuff. This happens no matter what branch I am looking at (via checkout and refresh) or when that branch was created. The other confusion I find is that the latest change is always what gets built the compiling. That is - If I add a configuration setting to MyCoolNewStuff, it will appear in the build, even if I am intending to build the Master or the OtherNeatStuff branch. So the actual questions are - How would I build different branches based on one master? (I'm assuming some step in branching I'm missing) How do I keep changes separate from each branch and not visible until I actually merge?
