Hi all, I have just started out using Git and I have a couple of questions. Bear with me should the questions sound ridiculous or stupid even...
Say, in this repo of mine, there are 3 branches - master (main) and develop branche (feature) So the contents in both develop01 and develop02 will be merged and pushed into master. 1. If someone, lets call this person Mark... He committed and pushed a change (itemE) into master as I stated below: Initial Contents: master - itemA, itemB, itemC, itemD develop - itemA, itemB, itemC, itemD New Contents: master - itemA, itemB, itemC, itemD, itemE* Though I did a git pull, there is no update seeing that develop is not 'touched'. When I tried to make some changes into develop - adding in itemF (comitted and pushed the changes into develop only) The contents are: develop - itemA, itemB, itemC, itemD, itemF But as soon as I did a pull request, I was prompted with the warning *This pull request can't be merged. You will need to resolve conflicts to be able to merge* and it asked me to do the following steps: git fetch origin master git checkout develop git merge FETCH_HEAD git commit git push origin HEAD While I am doing so, in the git status, it is showing itemF as a new file that needs to be committed. Thus my question would be, does it means that both the contents/number of items in my master and develop has to be the same? 2. Prior to my above question, does this means I will always need to do the steps as I written above, before I can commit my changes into develop? 3. What are some of the preparatory steps/ other matter that I should have take before I initiate a pull request? I asked this because though I always did a git pull to update the branch I am working on, but at times if I am prompted with similar or complicated scenarios again, I just feared I may screwed up the overall repo or the initial branch itself. Any advises is appreciated :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
