Error installing Package Control ST3

[MrMartineau]

I'm trying to install Package Control on Sublime Text 3 Build 3014 but I get this error:

Code: Select all

$ git checkout python3
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
   Package Control.sublime-settings
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
Aborting

I used Will's instructions at http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/packa ... lation#ST3 . It seems that some files changed immediately after I cloned them..

Has anyone else come across this? Is there a workaround.

run

Code: Select all

git stash

Before checkout.

I tried that already but it does not work. I have no idea why the files would be being changed immediately after being downloaded - very frustrating.. I will persevere and let you know if I find any solution.

Try closing ST3 run the commands and then open it again?

Tried that to no avail. I figured it out by forcing a checkout using

Code: Select all

git checkout -f python3
