Hi guys, I am experiencing something very weird with my Git installation. My setup is this:
Shared Repo on GitHub. * I have cloned this to my local computer into master * Using the command "git branch newLogin" I have created a new branch from main called newLogin. * Using the command "git checkout newLogin" I switch to the new branch. * I make some changes on the new branch. I do not commit or add these changes to the staging area. I have both changed existing files and added new files. * Using the command "git checkout master" I switch back to my master branch. The changes I have made in the branch newLogin are visible in my master branch. Switching branch does nothing. I would have expected to see a master branch that did not have these changes. If I then add these files to the staging area in master and switch back to newLogin, "git status" will show exactly the same in every branch. What am I doing wrong? Have I completely misunderstood a very basic concept in Git? I don't remember previous versions of Git acting like this. I am using Git on a Windows 7 PC. $ git version git version 1.7.6.msysgit.0 Thanks, JP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
