Keep Your Branch Up-to-Date
Lab: Git Contributing
Video Runtime: 06:49
When you are working in a branch, it’s likely that the develop branch will get new PRs merged into it. When that happens, you might need those changes in your branch in order to complete your work and/or avoid a merge conflict. There are several strategies for keeping your branch up-to-date:
- Do nothing – when there are no changes that impact you
- Merge update strategy
- Rebase update strategy
The project or team sets the branching and update strategy. It’s important that you know which strategy they use and then follow it.
You will grow in this profession when you incrementally and systematically stretch yourself....bit-by-bit.
