In order to correctly merge a new branch into master, you have to add and commit changes to that branch first * code example
Example 1: how to merge branch to master
First we have to come in the branch which we want to merge the codes in.
It means generally we should come into master branch in this case.
- git checkout master ==> now you are in master branch
- git pull origin master ==> We are pulling recent code from master branch
on GitHub
- git merge develop -m "your message here" ==> to merge a develop branch
into master branch
- git add .
- git commit -m "final commit"
- git push origin master
- now when other team members pull master they will see what you sent
*** git rebase LoginFeatureBranch ==> This will merge Login with Master but
closes the LoginFeatureBranch for good (completely).
Example 2: merge branch to master
$ git checkout master
$ git branch new-branch
$ git checkout new-branch
$ git add –A
$ git commit –m "Some commit message"
$ git checkout master
$ git merge new-branch
