Git is an amazingly powerful tool — and it can be amazingly confusing. Demystify Git commands with visualizations powered by D3. Give it a try at [[Visualize Git] illustrates what’s going on underneath the hood when you use common Git operations. You’ll see what exactly is happening to your commit graph. We aim to support all the most basic git operations, including interacting with remotes.

QUESTION
I've been playing around with http://git-school.github.io/visualizing-git and I'm not really sure how this works - can I delete remote tracking branches? Say I have local branches master
and origin/master
and a remote repository with master
branch that corresponds to the local origin/master
.
Can I delete origin/master
? If I can and I do so, how do I set up a new remote tracking branch for it again? Would just fetching origin
automatically create it again? If someone pushes some new branch onto the remote repository say feature
, will fetch
always download this automatically and create a remote tracking branch origin/feature
in my local repository? Does fetch
always download "everything on remote repo that you're missing"?
Lastly, I know you can set what remote tracking branch a local branch tracks, say git branch -u origin/feature
(assuming I have feature
checked out) will associate feature
with origin/feature
, both local branches. In this case we call origin/feature
the upstream branch. But can I change which remote branch origin/feature
is associated with, and is this association also called "upstream" ?
I'm mostly just curious and I haven't been really able to recreate the remote tracking branch on the site I linked, after I tried deleting it. But maybe it's as simple as "fetch always creates a new remote tracking branch if it doesn't exist in your local repository".

Yes, but there is little point (not quite no point, just "little"). The command-line command to do this is, e.g.:
QUESTION
I have been studying from the book ProGit, and stumbled upon this paragraph under the topic "Reset Demystified":
Switching branches or cloning goes through a similar process. When you checkout a branch, it changes HEAD to point to the new branch ref, populates your Index with the snapshot of that commit, then copies the contents of the Index into your Working Directory.
However, as you can see in the below terminal output, I am unable to replicate the behavior.

Answered 2018-Nov-08 at 08:36As far as I know, Git checkout will carry over modified files in your working directory when switching branches. The documentation supports this claim:
git checkout
To prepare for working on , switch to it by updating the index and the files in the working tree, and by pointing HEAD at the branch. Local modifications to the files in the working tree are kept, so that they can be committed to the .
As to why Git might have this behavior, this prevents accidentally wiping out changes in the working directory by changing branches.
