Now from here you’ll see the below screen.Ĭlick on the “Merge pull request” button. Since a merge is similar to a commit in the sense that we are modifying content and saving it, you can add a commit message by modifying the existing commit message being displayed or leave it as is as I’ve done here.Ĭlick on “Create pull request”. Now you will be presented with the below page. Here you can see a button named “Compare and pull request”. The new branch will now appear on GitHub as well as shown in the screen shot below: To * my_branch -> my_branch perl_scripts_for_training]$Īs you can see from the above output a new branch with the name my_branch was created on GitHub. Total 3 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (2/2), completed with 2 local objects. perl_scripts_for_training]$ git push origin my_branch Counting objects: 5, done.

my_branch and push our changes out to GitHub. This time we will use the branch that we are currently working with i.e. Up until now whenever we’ve used git push we’ve used the master branch. perl_scripts_for_training]$ git commit -m "removed a line from " removed a line from 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) perl_scripts_for_training]$ git status # On branch my_branch nothing to commit, working directory clean perl_scripts_for_training]$ perl_scripts_for_training]$ git checkout my_branch Switched to branch 'my_branch' perl_scripts_for_training]$ ls -l -rwxrwxr-x 1 sahil sahil 264 Sep 10 19:35 perl_scripts_for_training]$ vim perl_scripts_for_training]$ git add. Merging a git branch with the master branch on GitHub: To demonstrate this let’s switch to the branch my_branch, make a change to a file a commit that change. perl_scripts_for_training]$ git log -oneline -all -decorate -graph * 2d3806c (HEAD, my_branch, master) updated * e9bcebe (origin/master) updated say.pl |\ | * 75f54de updated say.pl * | 28153ad updated say.pl |/ * 357b280 updated say.pl * 9181f1a updated say.pl * 020e3e5 updated say.pl |\ | * 05b5fed added a line to say.pl * | 04a689d moddifed say.pl |/ * 913ff69 resolved merge conflict in |\ | * 6e528de added the line My name is Sahil to * | 0cf7bb1 Modified the file |/ * d619327 Modified metadeta for this script say.pl * 9e68102 add file testfile * 7c57851 A repository of basic Perl scripts to be used as examples in training If we run the git log command now, it will show us that we’ve merged the changes from the branch my_branch in to the master branch and that now we are one commit ahead of the origin i.e. It will show you all the files that were changed with the merge and also the number of lines that were modified. The output of the git merge command is similar to that of git pull. We accomplish this by using the git merge command as shown below: perl_scripts_for_training]$ git merge my_branch Updating e9bcebe.2d3806c Fast-forward | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) perl_scripts_for_training]$ Now we want to merge the changes made in the branch my_branch with the master branch. We’ve now moved to the master branch and verified it with the git status command. So let’s move into the master branch using the git checkout command as shown below: perl_scripts_for_training]$ git checkout master Switched to branch 'master' perl_scripts_for_training]$ perl_scripts_for_training]$ git status # On branch master nothing to commit, working directory clean perl_scripts_for_training]$ We want to merge the changes made while working in this branch with the master branch. The output of the git status command above tells us that we are in the branch my_branch at the moment. perl_scripts_for_training]$ git status # On branch my_branch nothing to commit, working directory clean perl_scripts_for_training]$ Merging a git branch with the master branch on the command line: To merge a branch we first need to move in to the branch that we want to incorporate changes into. For the purpose of this demonstration we will be using GitHub as our remote since we’ve already set it up and synced our repositories up there. The demonstration will consist of merging changes with the master branch on the command line as well as on a remote.

In this article we will demonstrate how we could merge the work or updates that we’ve made while working in a branch with the master branch.

LINUX GIT CREATE BRANCH HOW TO
We also practically demonstrated how to create branches and work with them.
LINUX GIT CREATE BRANCH CODE
Branches provide a means to have a working copy of our code available in the master branch while we continue to make changes to it in a different branch. In our previous articles on git branches we explained what are branches in git terminology.
