POKE. Thank you!! You answered my question and more. That additional code you provided is exactly what I intended to do, but I did not have the time to figure it out. Your answer is very clear. Thank you, thank you.

I see a similar answer in the other thread now, which was praised for it's brevity. Didn't want to try it since there plenty comments warning about losing work. Thank you for the thorough explanation.

An important thing to remember is that it’s actually pretty difficult to lose work with Git. Once you have committed something, you are pretty safe, so you don’t need to be scared about it. It’s just sometimes more complicated to recover than other times. But by creating branches, you can very easily create backup pointers for you to recover easily later one in case you need it :)
