- I am currently on the "master" branch.
- I created a new branch (from the master branch) to work on a new "users" feature. that's why i called this new branch "users".
- I had to stop my work and go back to the master branch.
- I stashed "users" for all the files i was working on - so basically my status is empty.
- Now I can safely checkout back to the "master" branch.
- "master" branch shows me one of my folders (
node_modules
) as if I added it and "ready to add and commit" - as if it was dragged from the previous repository.
PROBLEM:
I keep getting the changes from the previews branch ("users") in my master branch.
If I delete these files - I would have no problem to work on my master branch - but when returning to the "users" branch - these files are gone (because i deleted them in the master branch)
It seems like I somehow have a "static" folder that is dragged to every branch
What might be the problem with my git ?
The folder I am referring to is the node_modules
folder. I'm not sure I remember what happened to it, I added it in the beggining, then deleted it. made sure it's not displayed in the repo in "bitbucket". then had git update-index --assume-unchanged $(git ls-files | tr '\n' ' ')
run on the whole folder. It just keep poping up in every branch i move to.
WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN:
- I am currently on the "master" branch.
- I created a new branch (from the master branch).
- I had to stop my work and go back to the master branch.
- I stashed "users".
- Now I can safely checkout back to the "master" branch.
- "master" branch is empty to work on - some files "disappeared" since they don't exist on this branch).
