How do clear/delete "working copy"

Rolf Marsh
Rolf Marsh November 21, 2013

I tried to make some changes to my app in a new branch. I changed my mind, and now want to delete that branch and working copy contents. How do I do that? (I'm thinking "clone" with a new branch name, make it my current branch, then delete the old branch.) Will this also clear the working copy or make the new clone the working copy?

Can't you just return to the master branch and delete the branch?

What's the difference between a local branch and "working copy"?

A branch is a branch. Local means its on your client machine. Working copy means a full copy of the repo on your client machine?
