Error installing Package Control ST3

#1

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

$ 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 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

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 git checkout -f python3
