VSCode “please clean your repository working tree before checkout”

Question

I made some changes in Visual Studio code but I donnot want to commit and sync yet. But after a few days when I’m trying to commit and sync from the server it throws a message saying “Please clean your repository working tree before checkout".

What do I do?

Answer 1

Create a temporary branch and commit the changes. Or if you don't want to create a temporary branch - stash the changes.

Answer 2

One of the ways is to stash the changes and then you can sync the changes from your co-workers and then do a stash-pop. Not very sure if it works, I actually read it somewhere.

Surprisingly it worked me for. Thanks!
