I upgraded my rails application in a dedicated `upgrading` branch, made two commits, then checkout to the master branch and merged with --squash option:
$ git checkout -b upgrading $ git add -A $ git commit -m 'before rails app update' $ rails app:update $ git add -A $ git commit -m "work in progress" $ git checkout master $ git merge --squash upgrading $ git commit -m "upgrade to Rails 5.1.6" When I tried to delete my `upgrading` branch, git did not proceed with the deletion for the following reason: $ git branch -d upgrading error: The branch 'upgrading' is not fully merged. If you are sure you want to delete it, run 'git branch -D upgrading'. Why is happening this? I found a Stackoverflow topic <https://stackoverflow.com/a/41947745/5078888> on the same issue: what I would like to know is if this happens every time there is a merge with --squash option, so that I can safely remove the topic branch using the -D option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
