bitbucket - Transfer files between git branches in local

Question

I have accidentally worked on master instead of an issue-branch, I have managed to make edits in multiple files in the repo. I haven't committed/pushed the changes yet. can someone suggest me how to transfer this local changes to other branch so that I can create the pull request to master.

I am new to git, really sorry if this is a noob question.

Thanks

Answer 1

If you haven't committed yet, you could:

# check the current branch (should be master) 
git branch 

# create a new branch starting from master which will contain your modifications
git checkout -b new_branch

Or

git stash
git checkout <other_branch>
git stash pop
