Topic: add branch to already changed clone
John Moehrke (Oct 29 2018 at 23:51):
I have accidentally made changes to my clone without first declaring a branch... Now what? Is there a way to recover, or do I need to copy off my changes, start the branch, and copy the changes back?
Josh Mandel (Oct 29 2018 at 23:57):
Have you committed these changes, or just made them to your local working copy?
Josh Mandel (Oct 29 2018 at 23:57):
If you haven't committed them yet, just run git branch mynewbranch now and proceed.
John Moehrke (Oct 29 2018 at 23:59):
cool. thanks
Josh Mandel (Oct 30 2018 at 00:00):
And I mean git checkout -b mynewbranch. Sorry, typing without thinking.

(I really mean follow step 1 of https://github.com/HL7/fhir/wiki/Get-Started-with-FHIR-on-GitHub#submit-changes-to-the-fhir-spec-by-pushing-from-a-local-clone)

I'm using tortoise, so just started at the step to create a branch. Seems to be working smoothly
