How to rebase local branch onto remote master
I have a cloned project from a master branch from remote repository remote_repo. I create a new branch and I commit to that branch. Other programmers pushed to remote_repo to the master branch.
I now need to rebase my local branch RB onto remote_repo's master branch.
How to do this? What commands to type to a terminal?
First fetch the new master from the upstream repository, then rebase your work branch on that:
git fetch origin # Updates origin/master
git rebase origin/master # Rebases current branch onto origin/master
Update: Please see Paul Draper's answer for a more concise way to do the same - recent Git versions provide a simpler way to do the equivalent of the above two commands.
git pull --rebase origin master
git pull --rebase=interactive origin master
dev and run git pull --rebase origin master, only branch dev is going to be modified, not master. The --rebase flag documentation states that it attempts to rebase the current branch on top of the upstream branch after fetching and nothing about modifying local tracking branches.
After committing changes to your branch, checkout master and pull it to get its latest changes from the repo:
git checkout master
git pull origin master
Then checkout your branch and rebase your changes on master:
git checkout RB
git rebase master
...or last two commands in one line:
git rebase master RB
When trying to push back to origin/RB, you'll probably get an error; if you're the only one working on RB, you can force push:
git push --force origin RB
...or as follows if you have git configured appropriately:
git push -f
git push without -f).
git push --force-with-lease is a safer way to push changes after a rebase. It basically checks if another member of your team has made a commit before pushing your changes. See stackoverflow.com/questions/52823692/…
Note: If you have broad knowledge already about rebase then use below one liner for fast rebase. Solution: Assuming you are on your working branch and you are the only person working on it.
git fetch && git rebase origin/master
Resolve any conflicts, test your code, commit and push new changes to remote branch.
~: For noobs :~
The following steps might help anyone who are new to git rebase and wanted to do it without hassle
Step 1: Assuming that there are no commits and changes to be made on YourBranch at this point. We are visiting YourBranch.
git checkout YourBranch
git pull --rebase
What happened? Pulls all changes made by other developers working on your branch and rebases your changes on top of it.
Step 2: Resolve any conflicts that presents.
Step 3:
git checkout master
git pull --rebase
What happened? Pulls all the latest changes from remote master and rebases local master on remote master. I always keep remote master clean and release ready! And, prefer only to work on master or branches locally. I recommend in doing this until you gets a hand on git changes or commits. Note: This step is not needed if you are not maintaining local master, instead you can do a fetch and rebase remote master directly on local branch directly. As I mentioned in single step in the start.
Step 4: Resolve any conflicts that presents.
Step 5:
git checkout YourBranch
git rebase master
What happened? Rebase on master happens
Step 6: Resolve any conflicts, if there are conflicts. Use git rebase --continue to continue rebase after adding the resolved conflicts. At any time you can use git rebase --abort to abort the rebase.
Step 7:
git push --force-with-lease
What happened? Pushing changes to your remote YourBranch. --force-with-lease will make sure whether there are any other incoming changes for YourBranch from other developers while you rebasing. This is super useful rather than force push. In case any incoming changes then fetch them to update your local YourBranch before pushing changes.
Why do I need to push changes? To rewrite the commit message in remote YourBranch after proper rebase or If there are any conflicts resolved? Then you need to push the changes you resolved in local repo to the remote repo of YourBranch
Yahoooo...! You are succesfully done with rebasing.
You might also be looking into doing:
git checkout master
git merge YourBranch
When and Why? Merge your branch into master if done with changes by you and other co-developers. Which makes YourBranch up-to-date with master when you wanted to work on same branch later.
~: (๑ơ ₃ ơ)♥ rebase :~
Pulls latest changes from remote master to local master. I always prefer keeping remote master clean and release ready always!. I will update my description.
git push --force-with-lease is the tricky bit and what nobody talks about when rebasing as you'll get a your branch is X ahead and Y behind origin which if you try to pull and push again will make a huge mess of things.
step 7, this always confused me in rebasing since you need to merge anyway in the end and the initial question is always "should i merge or rebase"! Also the push with --force-with-lease top stuff.
Step 1:
git fetch origin
Step 2:
git rebase origin/master
Step 3:(Fix if any conflicts)
git add .
Step 4:
git rebase --continue
Step 5:
git push --force
git push --force can be very very dangerous. datree.io/resources/git-push-force
git fetch origin master
1.Update Master first...
git checkout [master branch]
git pull [master branch]
2.Now rebase source-branch with master branch
git checkout [source branch]
git rebase [master branch]
git pull [source branch] (remote/source branch)
git push [source branch]
IF source branch does not yet exist on remote then do:
git push -u origin [source branch]
"et voila..."
git fetch origin master:master pulls the latest version of master without needing to check it out.
So all you need is:
git fetch origin master:master && git rebase master 👌
git fetch update master without needing to check it out too? Except that git fetch doesn't git merge the updates right? So if we checkout master it won't have the latest updates. So isn't it shorter to do while on feature branch, git fetch then git rebase origin/master? We can't do git rebase master because that will try to rebase from master in workspace, we need origin/master to get from the unmerged but sitting in local.
If the current branch has a lot of commits and they are needed to be squashed, fixed, and rewritten before rebasing, then interactive rebase is the correct answer. When software engineers say "rebase on top of master", what they usually mean is "do interactive rebase on top of origin/master and make sure it looks great and unnecessary commits are squashed, and commit messages are corrected".
First, check git status and make sure to start in feature branch.
If not in feature brach, try git checkout feature Then
git fetch origin
git rebase -i origin/master
Rarely, a commit history is ready to be rebased as is when rebase on top of master is requested. In most cases, the existing commits are first revised using the interactive rebase.

Your branch and 'origin/b1' have diverged, # and have 3 and 2 different commits each, respectively.Seems like anothergit pullis needed. Is this correct or am I missing something here?git rebase masterwill not do the same job as the second command (git rebase origin/master) sincemasterandorigin/mastermay well point to different commits (especially given that the first command wasgit fetch origin, which may modifyorigin/master).
