Perhaps you have commited your changes to the index already. What you need is 1. git reset --hard Dont we have to say the commit name to which HEAD must be changed? If a commit was not made this command will change the index & working directory change to last HEAD. here since Sandeep has already commited so HEAD will be at the last commit, so we have to give git reset --hard $(last clean commit) thanks & regards vibi 2. alternatively - git branch $newbranchname $shasumofcommitwhichwascleanforyou && git checkout $newbranchname && git branch -d $oldbranchname HTH > > -- > Regards, > Sandeep. > > > > > > > “To learn is to change.
