Can't sync repo with untracked files even after recommended stash #6910
Description
Describe the bug
gh version 2.21.2 (2023-01-03)
When trying to sync a repo that has untracked changes with gh repo sync I get an error:
$ gh repo sync
can't sync because there are local changes; please stash them before trying againNow even after a stash, I get the same error again. So I'm stuck. The error message should offer me another tip that works:
$ git stash
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: da1928e8 chore(ci): remove gh auth status call
$ gh repo sync
can't sync because there are local changes; please stash them before trying again
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
data/sars-cov-2/primers.csv
data/sars-cov-2/qc.json
data/sars-cov-2/tag.json
data/sars-cov-2/tree.json
data/sars-cov-2/virus_properties.json
interesting.fa
interesting.txt
out.tsv
out.tsv.zst
output/
profile.json
sars.zip
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)Steps to reproduce the behavior
gh repo clonea repo- Copy that repo to another folder
- Add some changes that are
.gitignored gh repo syncobserve resultgh repo stashgh repo syncobserve result
Expected vs actual behavior
I expect an error message that helps me resolve the problem, not one that doesn't.
