gh-pages branch confuses git on Windows because of files with same name, different case #114

Closed effjot closed 2 years ago

effjot commented 2 years ago

I accidentally checked out the gh-pages branch. I didn’t want to work on it, just get back to master. However, I couldn’t switch back, because git on Windows always thinks the working directory has changed. There are 2 folders which each have 2 case variants (CONTRIBUTING, contributing, CHANGELOG, changelog), which Windows treats as one. So even after a git reset, uncommited changes appear, because one variant overwrites the other.

So far, I only wanted to get out of this branch, and I could do it with git checkout -f master. But in case anybody on Windows needs to work on this branch, it’ll get difficult.

The gh-pages is managed by the CI/bot to build the website. All the source files are in the master branch in the docs folder so the branch shouldn't be checkout.

Hopefully, someone will look for existing tickets. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the clarification! I will just delete it in my repository, because it appears next to master in the list of branches and I don’t want to again accidentally check it out ;-)
