So, if two branches have not diverged and there is a direct linear path from the target branch to the source branch, Git runs a fast forward merge. The concept of fast forward merge in git is very similar to this solution. From this point forward, we can say this is our new MAIN directory. Solution 02 − Since there is no additional change in the MAIN directory and everything in MAIN is essentially the first version of BUGFix directory, we can simply rename BUGFix to MAIN. This is not the best solution as copy operations may take long time if we have many files in the Bugfix version 2.0 folder. Solution 01 − Copy all files from Bugfix to Main. Once we have completed the changes in bugfix, how do we bring the changes back to the MAIN folder? Now let’s say we made changes in the BugFix directory and made it to BUGFix_V2.0.
#Force merge your branch to origin master git code#
Code in BUGFix_V1.0 is identical to the code in the MAIN directory. We take a copy of this directory and call it as BUGFix_V1.0. The code in this directory is of version 1.0. Let us say we have a directory called MAIN_V1.0. This keeps the history tidy and makes things a lot easier to follow. Let us understand fast-forward merge through a real-world example. The best solution would be to rebase your branch onto master. In order to merge the changes to the master branch, all git has to do is to change the pointer of master forward. If there is conflict there are two options. There is a linear path from feature to master. Github probability prevents force push to master (gitlab does) If you just want feature added to master, the a merge request will suffice if there are no conflicts (do not avoid conflicts). Now we need to bring the changes to the master branch. Now let us switch to the feature branch and do a couple of commits. From the GitLab UI The /rebase quick action rebases your feature branch directly from its merge request if all of these conditions are met: No merge conflicts exist for your feature branch. At this point both feature and master are pointing to the same commit. If there are merge conflicts, Git prompts you to fix them before continuing the rebase. In git a branch is nothing but a pointer to a commit. How do you merge a Git branch with master in GitKraken After you checkout the master branch, you will drag-and-drop your feature branch onto the master branch. Next, we create a branch called feature branch. Let us look at an example implementing fast-forward merge. In this section, we will learn using examples how git push -force function works with a remote branch, origin master/main and git push force with -lease. Advantages: Easier and quicker to resolve conflicts. In fast-forward merge, git simply moves the source branch pointer to the target branch pointer without creating an extra merge commit. git merge origin/master When one do merge, this is what will happen, As you can see, although your branch and ‘origin/master’ have diverged, it eventually merged together at the end. Fast forward merge can be performed when there is a direct linear path from the source branch to the target branch.
