[git-users] How do you switch head location without changing files?
Lets say you've got files set up to commit to one point in the tree, but you're actually in a different location. How do you move where you are / where a commit will go, without altering the files? How did I get here? 714 git checkout 4194 715 git tag -a baseChest -m "Branch here for merge" 716 git checkout chest chest_content.cfg -- fetched a commit that had half of the changes to the configs -- Used git gui to unstage one chunk known to cause problems -- Attempted to commit (from git gui), only to be told I was in detached head. 717 git checkout chest -- Attempted to switch to where I wanted this edit to go. -- Told that my edits would be overwritten 718 man git checkout 719 man git-checkout 720 man git-add 721 man git-checkout 722 git checkout -p chest -- I thought this would give me an interactive mode to let me say that my edits would be kept. -- It did not. 723 git status 724 git checkout chest -- Still won't let me get there to save my changes 725 man git-branch 726 man git-checkout -- and I'm clueless here. --- Entertaining minecraft videos http://YouTube.com/keybounce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
