Make sure the receiving branch and the merging branch are up-to-date with the latest remote changes. In our case we will execute git checkout main. If needed, execute git checkout to switch to the receiving branch. Confirm the receiving branchĮxecute git status to ensure that HEAD is pointing to the correct merge-receiving branch. Preparing to mergeīefore performing a merge there are a couple of preparation steps to take to ensure the merge goes smoothly. This scenario is a version control conflict and Git will need user intervention to continue. If Git encounters a piece of data that is changed in both histories it will be unable to automatically combine them. When creating a merge commit Git will attempt to auto magically merge the separate histories for you. Merge commits are unique against other commits in the fact that they have two parent commits. Git will determine the merge algorithm automatically (discussed below). Invoking this command will merge the specified branch feature into the current branch, we'll assume main. We now want to merge this feature branch into main. Say we have a new branch feature that is based off the main branch. Once Git finds a common base commit it will create a new "merge commit" that combines the changes of each queued merge commit sequence. The following examples in this document will focus on this branch merging pattern. In these scenarios, git merge takes two commit pointers, usually the branch tips, and will find a common base commit between them. Git merge will combine multiple sequences of commits into one unified history. In the most frequent use cases, git merge is used to combine two branches. Again, this means that git merge is often used in conjunction with git checkout for selecting the current branch and git branch -d for deleting the obsolete target branch. ![]() The current branch will be updated to reflect the merge, but the target branch will be completely unaffected. ![]() Note that all of the commands presented below merge into the current branch. The git merge command lets you take the independent lines of development created by git branch and integrate them into a single branch. So I’m trying it through SourceTree this time.Merging is Git's way of putting a forked history back together again. This resulted (I think) in seeing no merge in the SourceTree branch graph (I think it just saw the commit as changes in the branch as opposed to a merge). Git merge -squash sourceBranch & git commit -m ‘squash merging from sourceBranch’īut it halts before it commits and asks me to commit it as a separate step. I’ve done this before on the command line like so: git checkout destinationBranch What if I want to squash everything in the blue branch between a past commit (not shown in the branch screen shot) and the head, and then merge that squashed commit (ONLY the squashed commit) to another branch (also not shown)? Is it because of that merge from the red branch right below the head that I can’t rebase (and therefore squash) anything before 93a74a2e? The branch I want to squash is the blue one below: Since there’s only one commit, it figures there’s nothing to do so it just ends. My guess is that it’s trying to rebase from 93a74a2e to 93a74a2e onto 93a74a2e (i.e. If I just accept the commit message, it does nothing (I’m expecting the interactive rebase dialog to come up). I’m told I can squash by going into interactive rebase. ![]() I’m working in SourceTree and I’m trying to squash commit a branch into another branch. ![]()
