VS : Cannot pull because there are uncommitted changes

Using VS 2015.

The full error is:

"Cannot pull because there are uncommitted changes. Commit or undo your changes before pulling again. See the Output window for details."

So annoying. This happens a lot when trying to pull.

Install Git Bash.

In Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory where your project is and right click.


$ git status
On branch somebranch

...

Check you are on the right branch. You will get messages about the difference with master.

Then:

 $ git pull

Back to VS. Now you get a message about files being updated outside of VS.

Just "Reload all".

Job done!

Enjoy!
