i committed my changes, then ran git reset --soft HEAD^ at this point everything is fine then i switched branches, and all of my changes vaporized into thin air. uhhh, is this supposed to happen?

anyway, thank god intellij saves my work for me as i go, so i didn't have to re-write all my code.

my bash/zsh commands are attached.
thanks for the help! :)

Re: Potential git bug

oh, wait, switching branches didn't vaporize my changes, it auto-committed them. which is still weird and possibly a bug? Nick Hunt nhunt11@gmail.com 404-988-1845

Are you sure that the changes were not already present on the switched-to branch?
