Here's the link to the original answer I found, go give it a like.: Which will make you able to stage any changes in "hunks." It asks y/n if you want to stage any hunks of lines that changed, meaning you can leave unwanted changes out of your next commit. argument for git checkout will checkout all the FILES from the other branch, while still checked out into the same branch. Git checkout your-branch-that-won't-simply-merge Here is the way to get the changes from another branch regardless of merge history ( CAREFUL: this clears the working tree, so git stash or commit changes before trying this) // stash changes to ensure you don't lose any edits _>git pullĬONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in Runbooks/Runbooks/File1.ps1Īutomatic merge failed fix conflicts and then commit the result.
#GIT MERGE MASTER INTO BRANCH COMMAND UPDATE#
(use "git pull" to update your local branch)Īh-ha! My local copy is stale by 85 commits, that explains everything! Now, I Pull down the changes I'm missing, then hop over to MyBranch and try the merge again. **Your branch is behind 'origin/ProjectMaster' by 85 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.** Then I hop into the branch I want to merge to see what's happening there. To see if this is the case, I first tell Git to check and see if my branches are out of date and fetch any changes if so using, uh, fetch. Here's the thing, when I type git merge ProjectMaster, git looks at my local copy of this branch, which might not be current. Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/MyBranch-Issue2'.īut I know that there are changes that need to be merged! I've got my branch, called MyBranch and I want to merge it into ProjectMaster. This happens because your local copy of the branch you want to merge is out of date. In order to force changes back to the central repo. Per Charles Drake in the comment to this answer, one solution to remediate the problem is: git checkout master That does not mean the branches are the same, because you can have plenty of changes in your working branch and it sounds like you do. According to merge there are no new changes in the parent since the last merge. Your branch is up-to-date with respect to its parent. The label for the “test” branch should be somewhere below your “master” branch label. Use gitk to take a look at your repository. Congratulations, that’s the easiest merge you’ll ever do. More specifically it means that the branch you’re trying to merge is a parent of your current branch.


The message “Already up-to-date” means that all the changes from the branch you’re trying to merge have already been merged to the branch you’re currently on.
