Hey Mike ,=20

Assuming you have done your changes on the storage-refactor branch but you =
haven't committed or staged them and then you checkout to a new branch (git=
 checkout -b "mike_temp" ) , then your changes would still be shown in the =
new branch . You could do a "git status" to verify your list of changes bef=
ore and after you checked out to a new branch.=20

Regards,
Pranav

Hi everyone,

I'm somewhat new to Git (mainly used SVN).

I am currently working on the storage_refactor branch.  I've added some cod=
e and changed a little existing code, but not staged or committed it to my =
local repo.

After I added and modified code, I was advised it would be better for me to=
 branch from storage_refactor and put my code in that branch (pulling from =
storage_refactor as I go).

My question is this:  With un-tracked files and modified files from the sto=
rage_refactor branch (again, nothing staged or committed), if I branch from=
 storage_refactor, where will my un-tracked files and modified files end up=
?  Will they be in my new branch and the storage_refactor branch will look =
as if I never did anything in it (that would be ideal)?

Thanks!
