Unable to checkout branch from master

sudhakar yala

After cloning a repo checkout to "X" branch does nothing and it is a valid branch, if i switch to any other branch from master..and then switch to "X" it works but not directly from master.

After running git checkout X, nothing happens and no error.

When we run git branch it still shows master branch.

Need help on this.

HI @sudhakar yala

Welcome to the community!

As you mentioned in your description, you are in Master branch and running the git checkout X. so here X is nothing but master or any other branch?

"checkout" is the act of switching between different versions of a target entity like a branch, commit, files...

Hi @Yogesh Mude, Thanks for the reply.

Yes X is another branch not master.

Yes i am unable to switch to X branch from master, however after switching to any other branch and switching back to X branch works fine.

It should switch from any branch to any.

Is this X branch is created from bitbucket using create branch or git?

If this X branch is created from Bitbucket server then can you please try to create a new branch using below command from git and try to switch in between.

git checkout -b <branch_name>

It works fine when we use git checkout -b <branch_name> and able to switch as well, but we do not want to create a new branch, X is existing valid branch, to which we are trying to switch. And we are unable to do so.

Hi @sudhakar yala,

Have you been able to resolve this? If yes, it would be awesome if you could share with us what was happening and how this has been addressed.

Cheers,

I had the same issue and the cause was that i had a file that had the same name than my branch on the root of my repo.

So a "git checkout X" command was checkouting the file instead of switching to the branch X.
