I'm developing on the Staging branch, and I switched to a Test branch to build a new feature.
I decide that my idea on the Test branch isn't what I wanted and so I switch back to the Staging branch, but to my surprise, the Sass file doesn't revert back to how things were before I began development on the new Test branch?
What am I doing wrong?
Here's what I have in my gitignore file:
.sass-cache/
style.css.map
images/
fonts/

10,910 PointsI just found this
Atom doesn't update file buffers correctly when switching branches. #4982 https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/4982
I read the whole thread, and if you have this problem there is a package that apparently fixes the issue https://atom.io/packages/file-watcher
Failing that, you might want to try Visual Studio Code, as per the suggestions in the thread!

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsVery interesting thread. I use Notepad++ as my text editor although I do have and have used Atom. I've never had any problems with N++ reverting files staged in Git. But i'll keep a look out for this as right now I haven't delved too much into past branches but building them up as I go through my project.

10,910 PointsOk, something really strange, I'm using Atom, I just switched back to my Staging branch, but this time, Sass reverted back to how it was, BUT, my index.html file stayed the same?! Take note, this time when I switched back to the Staging branch I was currently in the index.html file in Atom...
