Resolved | GIT branch switch issue

While using GIT, encountered a special scenario. I was working on one branch. There were no changes local. Then I decided to switch to different branch.

I have faced below error.

===========================================================================

$ git checkout New_Temp_Branch

error : The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:

      <list of files here>

Please move or remove them before you can switch branches.

Aborting

===========================================================================

Solution : Use below set of commands.

git add *

git stash

git pull

This will track all files, remove all of your local changes to those files, and then get the files from the server.
