I forgot to create my branch, how not to lose my changes?

Question

git

Such situation. I did a git pull on the master branch. Then you had to create your own branch
git branch myWork
, make your changes to the code, make a commit and push it to GitHub to create your myWork branch there.
But I forgot to create my branch before changing the code! Those. I changed all the code while in the local master branch and now I don’t quite understand how to do it right so that I don’t lose my code and commit to the master branch. Please tell me how to correct it. I haven't made a commit of my code yet.

Answer 1

git checkout -b myWork
When you create a branch, changes will not be lost. And always, if there is a chance of losing changes, you need to copy the changed files to a separate folder outside the project. And then if anything to restore.
