Hi, When I'm working on a branch I use to "rebase" in order to ensure my branch does not get obsolete. For that reason I want to send this email, so others could benefit if they does not know about it.
If you use a program like source tree, is very easy: 1.- First you checkout your branch 2.- put your mouse over the branch you want to rebase onto (this use to be "develop") 3.- In the contextual menu choose "rebase current changes onto XXX" This will make the operation and when finished your branch will have some changes to push and some to pull (normaly( 4.- You can Force push the info. (notice that "force push" is not available by default, you must check "Allow force push" in preferences > General Tab") At the end your branch will be put on top of develop and that means it incorporates all latest changes while continues to be a branch not merged with develop. I must to say that "Rebase" operation is delicate so you must know what you're doing to avoid meshing the repository, but as you understand the basics it becomes a powerful tool to use and another thing that adds to the reason we love Git :) Hope you find this useful Best -- Carlos Rovira http://about.me/carlosrovira
