File missing from git branch

[Prasad Pandit <pjp@fedoraproject.org>]

Hi,

Kernel-ark -> https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/

* I have forked the kernel-ark git repository. The forked tree is regularly updated by pulling commits from its upstream repository above. I have added/committed couple of config files under '../arch/x86/configs/' directory in the forked tree, not in the above upstream repository. Let's say

   Fork was created on - day-0
   Files were added on - day-1
   Updates are pulled  - day-2, day-3, day-4 ... day-n

* The issue is: the config files I added are visible only in the main (os-build) branch. If I create a new branch with

   $ git branch new-branch <commit-hash/merge-hash/commit-tag/>

Those config files are not visible/accessible under '../arch/x86/configs' directory.

   Note => Files are added and branches are created on the same forked tree.

* Generally committed local changes are visible across local branches, right? Is there a way to see/access those locally added files across local branches?

* Is there a different way to do this?

Thank you.
