Given a Git branch that's not up to date with another branch, how do you merge the changes?
THE AHA STACK MASTERCLASS
Launching May 27th
I was working on a Git branch that was not up to date with changes I was doing on another branch.
So, I had to incorporate those changes. Given a Git branch that’s not up to date with another branch, how do you merge the changes?
You checkout the branch you want to update:
git checkout my-branchand you merge from the branch you want to update from:
git merge another-branch
