Bug Title: Files from the new branch persist after switching back to main

Description:
When switching from a newly created branch back to the main branch, files added in the new branch remain in the working directory. These files should not persist in the main branch unless explicitly committed and merged.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Check out a new branch: git checkout -b new-branch.
2. Add new files to the working directory in the new branch.
3. Push the changes to the origin: git push origin new-branch.
4. Switch back to the main branch: git checkout main.

Expected Result:
The files added in the new branch should not appear in the working directory when back on the main branch.

Actual Result:
Files from the new branch remain in the working directory after switching back to the main branch.
