    That's the reason why it was replaced by two separate, more sensible commands: git switch for switching branches etc, which is safe, and the inherently dangerous git restore for re…

    Funny, I did just exactly that at work yesterday. If your branches have linear histories, here's what to do: 1. Make sure all branches touch separate files. I would strongly recomm…
