If you don't understand what git merge does, please don't use it either. If you're not doing any changes to the code, please don't use git merge. On second thought, you probably do need FETCH_HEAD after all.Īlso, i wont mind if i lose any changes since i didnt make any changes to any code, the only changes i dont want to lose are my settings/configs. Git reset -hard without FETCH_HEAD would do just fine. Please don't do that if you don't understand what it does.īecause this is not a BM issue but a git issue. unless of course you did a git merge in the past. These are the files it was conflicting with when i do git pull: There shouldn't be any problem doing a git pull.

My main concern is updating bitmessage Portable from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 using git pull. But it turns out that that's not the problem you're having. Setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME is an alternative to portable mode, when for some reason you can't have config in the same directory as the source. I only run in portable mode so i dont need to change this right XDG_CONFIG_HOME? So please pay attention when I'm telling you not to use git merge.

Im not a professional and am still kinda new to BM. Please confirm if the above git reset command does the job of updating BM portable mode correctly without losing any settings or without breaking the code? This will apply back the uncommitted changes. Pop back your changes from stash using git stash pop. This will pull the commits from the remote branch to local that you don't have.
Pull changes from remote using git pull or git pullThis will save your local changes, after the last commit in your local, to a stack. Git stash does not work for me and prefer not to use it. Stash your local changes using git stash. Is this the correct way to do a git pull in portable mode or is there a SIMPLER method?Īlso forgive me if i didnt see, but i have been looking all over the BM wiki to try and find documentation which describes what to actually do step by step if GIT PULL does not work and there is nothing. The only thing i tried now which seemed to work was: git reset -hard FETCH_HEADĪnd then git pull and then it seemed like it updated the files very quickly, i started BM and i saw that my settings were there and version went to 0.6.2. Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. Puppypackage/pybitmessage-0.3.5.pet.specs Aborting Updating 01fa732.125a20f Please commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: config/application.php Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge. So, if you ever run into the Git checkout error, “Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout,” I hope these notes are helpful.Error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge. Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'. Therefore, the way to fix the problem is to do a git commit and then do the git checkout master: To be more precise, git stash creates a commit that is not visible on your current branch, but is still accessible by Git. Stashing means putting the changes away for a moment to bring them back later. You can commit them and then perform git pull, or you can stash them. Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.Īs shown, I tried to do a git checkout master before I did a git commit, and so I got this error message. When your uncommitted changes are significant to you, there are two options.

_overviews/hello-scala/prelude-taste-of-scala.md $ git status (shows some files I changed)Įrror: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout: My current wrong/accidental workflow looks like this: When you get the Git checkout error, “Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout,” one likely cause is that files in the master branch are indeed newer than the files in your feature branch.īut another possibility that I just learned about is that you did a git add, but forgot to do a git commit before trying to switch branches.
