Thanks for Including this lesson. Now I feel more ready to experiment

I finally got Sourcetree working in this lesson (I was getting some kind of error previously when trying to set it up) and then immediately ruined everything in the next lesson. Stash sure is helpful.

[Update: I posted too soon, it’s fine now that I have done another commit. The Dead End is now red and the master is blue, all is well in Sourcetree land :sunglasses: ]

I lost some recent changes playing with Stash, was good practice to redo them myself.

Now, having tried Branch I have my master timeline red and the dead-end branch blue.

Ben: “We’re now going to make a series of changes…”
Siri (in background): “My ears are burning.”

Mine is messed up, I don’t understand what happened. I created a topic about it on this part but I’m still confused:

#8

And now I deleted the branch when I wanted to delete the other stuff in front :confused:

And the branch can’t be deleted:

These branches are confusing me :cry:

How do I get rid of everything and have only the one now selected be the master and no other tag??

#9

I figured it out! I forgot to press force delete! All fine now…

#10

I figured out what my original problem was: I didn’t switch to master branch and that messed everything up. Hope this was helpful for anyone!

#11

Did the lecture again, all working smoothly
