I was working on a branch on my personal machine, and when I downloaded it to the company machine, using the windows power shell, I received the following message:
PS projeto> git checkout -t origin/minha_branch
fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'minha_branch' at the same time.
Did you intend to checkout 'origin/minha_branch' which can not be resolved as commit?
When you have clone a project and are switching branches, you can only use git checkout <branch> without needing -t , because git will automatically fetch references and manage tracking.
If this continues to happen, see if your remotes are correct with git remote -v and try using git fetch <seuRemote> and git remote update <seuremote> to update references, then use the same command again.
