The branch automatically merges the repository ‘master’ branch
Doing this removes all files from the current branch and reloads all files from the repository. Larger apps will take a longer time to switch. You could lose local changes.

In studio, open source control> stash local changes
Select the stash local changes button
When prompted, select the apply stashed changes button
Select the close dialog button
Most likely when will you commit the local changes?
After creating a stash, but it is not required
