$(fix/align-div-vertically) git rebase master Once you updated your local master branch with remote, checkout to fix/align-div-vertically and execute the following command $(master) git checkout fix/align-div-vertically Using short-circuiting (& between multiple commands) works with MacOS and in Linux distribution, if you are on windows make sure you execute each command separately.įor the remainder of this article I'll use full commands to avoid confusion with aliases and to deviate from what I want to explain here. The above command can be executed with less typing the help of aliases, check out my previous blog git tricks for more info, it would look like $(master) git cm & git f & git pom $(fix/align-div-vertically) git checkout masterīranch point is enclosed within the parenthesis, for eg, $(master) indicates that we are currently in the master branch Meanwhile, the master branch has been updated by your fellow developers with the commits E and F as shown in the diagram, before you want to create a PR to the master branch you need to have the all the commits of your branch to be on top of master's latest commit, F, to have the all the commits of the master on your branch we need to make use of rebase git command.Īfter the rebase, the commit-tree should look like this, B-C-D fix/align-div-verticallyīefore starting the rebasing you must checkout to master and pull the changes from the remote so that your local master updated with the remote repository. Now you have fixed the issue and want to merge the changes to master, creating a pull request (PR) as a single commit it can be achieved with the help of squashing which I'm going to explain in the next section. The branch fix/align-div-vertically was created on top of commit hash A from the master branch and you have continued working on it, adding commits with the hashes B, C, and D for a couple of days (let's assume you commit once a day). Let's assume that the letters (A-F) indicate the commit hashes. Let me explain you the basics of rebasing with the help of the below diagram B-C-D fix/align-div-vertically Rebasing can be helpful to squash the commits into one commit and can also be used to split into multiple commits if you want the clean history of each fix that you want to track. Technically, rebasing helps to combine or move the commits on top of the base branch, so that the history of the current branch is up to date with the base branch (master branch - most of the time). I'm going to talk about the rebase command in this post which is used relatively less by developers. I'm going to explain to you the intermediate/advanced concepts that most of the developers are not using it frequently or not aware of. That will update the MR in progress (the one for merging release/v1.2.As I've promised in my previous post git tricks that Git rebase -onto master $(git merge-base develop release/v1.2.3) release/v1.2.3 Yes, there is a local step, in order to rebase and then push release/v1.2.3 (you never push master: it is protected for a reason) cd /path/to/local/cloned/repository (I guess this start with git checkout master and then rebasing on it, and then I git push master onto origin repo but I am not sure about what's in between -) ) Could you please give me the exact command line(s) to rebase release/v1.2.3 on top of master? That way: you won't have any conflict, and the merge of the source branch (now on top of the target branch) will be a trivial one.Īs discussed, Rebase button is not working on GitLab (and anyhow, I rather us the command line to be sure about what I do). To avoid said "divergence", whenever you are doing a merge request, it is best if the source branch you want to merge is rebased first on top of the target branch. It only seems to display if a file has been changed in the target branch in one of the diverged commits, that is also being changed in the source branch of the MR. When using "merge commit" merge method, the commit divergence count does not display if there is divergence between source and target branches. Issue 378060 mentions the notion of "divergence": Why do I have such message ? what does it mean ? How can I fix ?
