I've been working on the project. In the middle of the day, this file had unknowingly popped up on the "Staged files". I couldn't do anything to it.

I checked in the explorer. This file was still there. It's a regular text file.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Here are what I've tried to solve the problem:

  • reset the branch - hard
  • stash the file
  • use terminal
  • checkout another branch and come back to the current branch

None of these worked.

  • The readme file is there in order to describe what your project is about. If you don't want it, you can unstage (`remove`) it. – dan1st Oct 15 '20 at 05:05
  • I didn't do anything to it though. I also want to keep it that way. The program just popped it in the panel. If i commit the deletion and push, I will affect my teammate. – Alec Kingard Oct 15 '20 at 05:15

This is the solution.

I use git reset on the terminal.

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/develop

then switched to another branch, then came back to develop again.
