March 15, 2012 Confused about github rebasing | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I'm trying to submit a pull request for druntime, but I'm running into a git problem. This is what I did:
- (I forgot that my master branch is out of date)
- created a new branch for the fix and committed some changes
- switched to master and ran 'git pull'
- now master is ahead of the branch by a number of commits
- switched back to branch
- ran 'git rebase master' to pull in changes from master and apply my
changes on top of it
- checked that history looks clean
- 'git push -u origin newbranch'
- submit pull request: but now github thinks my branch has a whole bunch
of commits I didn't make (looks like the commits made by rebase).
So my question is, what did I do wrong, and what's the right way to pull in the latest changes from upstream without messing up the history?

You have a remote called dpl, which is upstream. So: $ git fetch dpl $ git pull --rebase dpl master $ git push origin <your branch> -f Note the -f, since you're overwriting remote history in your repo. -- - Alex |
