Git switch branch and discard changes update#

When checking out paths from the index, this option lets you recreate the conflicted merge in the specified paths. With git add (or git rm if the merge should result in deletion of the path).

When a merge conflict happens, the index entries for conflicting paths are left unmerged, and you need to resolve the conflicts and mark the resolved paths However, with this option, a three-way merge between theĬurrent branch, your working tree contents, and the new branch is done, and you will be on the new branch. Switching, the command refuses to switch branches in order to preserve your modifications in context. When switching branches, if you have local modifications to one or more files that are different between the current branch and the branch to which you are You can explicitly give a name with -b in such a case.ĭo not set up 'upstream' configuration, even if the tosetupmerge configuration variable is true.Ĭreate the new branch's reflog see git-branch(1) for details. Guessing results in an empty name, the guessing is aborted. If the given name has no slash, or the above This would tell us to use 'hack' as the localīranch when branching off of 'origin/hack' (or 'remotes/origin/hack', or even 'refs/remotes/origin/hack'). Stripped away, and then the part up to the next slash (which would be the nickname of the remote) is removed. If 'remotes/' or 'refs/remotes/' is prefixed it is If no -b option is given, the name of the new branch will be derived from the remote branch. See '-track' in git-branch(1) for details. When creating a new branch, set up 'upstream' configuration.

When checking out paths from the index, check out stage #2 ( ours) or #3 ( theirs) for unmerged paths.Ĭreate a new branch named and start it at see git-branch(1) for details. When checking out paths from the index, do not fail upon unmerged entries instead, unmerged entries are ignored. This is used to throw away local changes. When switching branches, proceed even if the index or the working tree differs from HEAD. With -m, changes made to the working tree file can be discarded to recreate the original conflicted merge The contents from a specific side of the merge can be checked out of the Using -f will ignore these unmerged entries. By default, if you try to check out such an entry from the index, the checkout operation willįail and nothing will be checked out. The index may contain unmerged entries after a failed merge.

commit, tag or tree) to update the index for the given paths before updating the The argument can be used to specify a specific tree-ish (i.e. In this case, the -b and -track options are meaningless and giving either of them results in an error. It updates the named paths in the working tree from the index file, When or -patch are given, this command does not switch branches. As a convenience, -track without -b implies branch creation see the description of -track below. If -b is given, a new branch is created and checked out, as if git-branch(1) were called in this case you can use the -track or -no-track options, When are not given, this command switches branches by updating the index, working tree, and HEAD to reflect the specified branch.
