GIT Visual Studio , Problem while switching from one branch to another branch


Got the error while switching to a branch
Cannot complete the operation because of existing changes to the following 2 files:

But the files are already committed.

The answer in the following SO post helps

  • Find the offending file in Explorer
  • Rename it to remove its extension
  • Go back to VS, you'll find the Changes window shows the file with the rename action
  • Undo the rename change on that file
This should reset the state of the file and make it forget that there's a change on the file.
Now, you can simply switch or pull or do whatever was being blocked.
