This will create a new local branch called release and check it out.
UPDATE BRANCH WITH CHANGES FROM MASTER GIT UPDATE
This command will update the origin branches in the local snapshot. Our integration was successful and, if our feature work on "contact-form" is finished, we could safely delete that branch. Start typing Git: Fetch and select Git: Fetch when it becomes visible. git checkout master Next, we'll need to pull all the changes from remote master into your local master. So, let's first switch our current branch to master. Just doing a simple git rebase production from my-feature-branch will not work, as it will move commits 3 through 6 to production, effectively merging master. Looking at our project's commit history, we'll notice that a new commit was created: a so-called "merge commit" that represents the actual "melting knot" that combines the two branches. The first step in the process is getting the changes from remote master into your local master branch. With such perfect preparation, the actual merge process itself is easy as pie: $ git merge contact-form

The last thing to check before actually starting the merge process is our current HEAD branch: we need to make sure that we've checked out the branch that should receive the changes.īut since we just updated "master" and already performed a "git checkout master", we're good to go! Starting the Merge If properly configured, a plain "git pull" should suffice (after making "master" our active branch): $ git checkout master Step 1: Stash your local working branch changes Step 2: Update your local master branch with remote Step 3: Merge local working branch with master branch. We must update "master" before we can integrate our own changes. The remark tells us that "master" has received new changes on the remote. Start with a "git fetch", followed by a "git branch -va": $ git fetch Both your local feature / bugfix / branch and the receiving branch should be updated with the latest changes from your remote server. Now master is ahead by one commit: git diff gh-pages -stat readme 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions (+), 1 deletions (-) You can force update gh-pages to master like this. echo readme changed > readme git add readme git commit -m change readme readme.
UPDATE BRANCH WITH CHANGES FROM MASTER GIT CODE
Preparing to Mergeīefore merging your code into one of your project's long-running branches (like a "development" or "master" branch), make sure that your local repository is up to date. Now there are two identical branches: master and gh-pages. Our goal is to integrate the changes from "contact-form" back into "master". Let's assume a very simple example scenario:
