What's the exact warning? It seems unlikely that your Git interface would complain about *uncommitted* changes in this context. All of this is done in Visual Studio's GUI for Git. Any ideas? Maybe ask on a Visual Studio forum instead, in case this is something generated by the front end? Florian
Deleting a branch after merging it results in "there may be uncommitted changes"
Hello, I'm trying to understand Git and the mess I've made. Some time ago, I did crazy things like adding to master even though I was working in develop, leaving it a commit ahead and X commits behind. I did crazier things, like trying to amend a previous post's message. Anyway, I follow a very simple merging model for this one-person project.
