Modified files in a git branch are spilling over into another branch

Why is that the file is shown as modified in master branch even though it was modified in git-build branch?

The key to remember is that the file was not modified in the git-build branch. It was only modified in your working copy.

Only when you commit are the changes put back into whichever branch you have checked out
