Git: Create a branch from unstaged/uncommitted changes on master.

To create a new Git branch from unstaged or uncommitted changes on the master branch, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create and Checkout a New Branch: You'll first create a new branch and then check it out.

  2. Commit Your Changes: Commit your unstaged changes to the new branch.

Here's a step-by-step example:

bash
# Make sure you are on the 'master' branch
git checkout master

# Create and checkout a new branch (replace 'new-branch' with your branch name)
git checkout -b new-branch

# Commit your unstaged/uncommitted changes to the new branch
git commit -am "Your commit message"

In this example:

  • We ensure that we are on the master branch using git checkout master.

  • We create a new branch named new-branch and immediately check it out with git checkout -b new-branch. You can replace new-branch with the desired name for your new branch.

  • After checking out the new branch, you can commit your unstaged or uncommitted changes using git commit -am "Your commit message". Be sure to provide a meaningful commit message.

Now, your changes are safely stored in the new branch, and you can continue working on the master branch or switch to the new branch as needed.
