Hello, One way is to forcibly reset your branch B:
git checkout B; git reset --hard A or, if you want to make your changes as if you branched off from A right now: git checkout B; git rebase A this will replay your changes in B to the current tip of A. Be aware, though, that both of these are considered a no-go if you have already pushed B to a "blessed" repository. In that case, you should instead create a new branch.
