Update Git branches from master

Posted By: Anonymous

I’m new to Git, and now I’m in this situation:

• I have four branches (master, b1, b2, and b3).
• After I worked on b1-b3, I realized I have something to change on branch master that should be in all other branches.
• I changed what I needed in master and… here is my problem:

How do I update all other branches with master branch code?

Solution

You have two options:

The first is a merge, but this creates an extra commit for the merge.

Checkout each branch:

git checkout b1

Then merge:

git merge origin/master

Then push:

git push origin b1

Alternatively, you can do a rebase:

git fetch
git rebase origin/master
