having a problem trying to checkout files

Question

Hi. I've been trying to checkout files, but so far it's not working. When I do a checkout, my local files are not changed. I screwed my code up and need to get the previous commit.

I'm sure that it's something really basic. If it helps, I'm using SourceTree.

TIA

Hi Tim. I have it working now. I came up with a test that would show whether files were being checked out right. And it worked. I feel much better about things now. Thanks for all your help. I'm now a happy guy

have a great one,

Yes, when I selected what to checkout, I was on the master and it "was" blue. I'll have to check on the "Head" thing more. Oh... I also see "Uncommitted Files" at the very top. I checked out doing the "Reset", but it seems a little scary to me <g>. I checked out this post https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/317478

All changes that I commit have no errors. That was a BIG no no when I used to develop software. We would go "off" on one of our guys that did that. I've used source control before, but it's been a while. I've been retired for 20 years now. I'm an old guy and we used our intranet and used the command line to "put" and "get". Can't remember what brand of source control we used.

Oops... Just noticed that you talk about the command line. I think you're right. I'm going to work on that. Thanks for giving me the most used commands.

And don't worry. You have been a big help to me. I understand what you are saying. I won't write back for a while with how things are doing unless I crash and burn my repository.

this for all the info. I'm going to checkout the things you said and will get back with ASAP.
