停止git不允许我切换未提交的更改的分支

Question

I understand the behaviour (and usefulness) of being able to switch branches when you have uncommitted changes. However, in 99.9% of my workflow this is undesirable because it means I've forgotten to commit changes before switching to a different feature branch. Is there a setting somewhere that I can set to either not allow a switch with uncommitted changes or to at least give a warning?

Answer 1

There does not seem to be a config for that case (checkout with a dirty index).

That leaves you with writing a script git-co (which can be called as git co ) which will:

• check for modified or untracked files (see " Checking for a dirty index or untracked files with Git ")
• do the checkout only if the index is clean.

Note: there is no pre-checkout hook , even though one was proposed in 2009 .
