How can I discard modified files?

Question

This is a Linux 2.6 kernel repository. I git clone it to my local host.

After that. I didn\'t make any change. But when I \"git status\". I found 13 modified files.

Answer 1

The question is similar to Strange behaviour of Git: mysterious changes cannot be undone

You need a case-insensitive filesystem. If your PC is Apple MAC like me, you can create Case-sensitive disk.

hdiutil create -type SPARSE -fs 'Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+' -size 25g ~/android.dmg

hdiutil resize -size g ~/android.dmg.sparseimage

# mount the android file image
function mountAndroid { hdiutil attach ~/android.dmg.sparseimage -mountpoint /Volumes/android; }

# unmount the android file image
function umountAndroid() { hdiutil detach /Volumes/android; }
