Merge two remote branches in a Git repository
If you have remote-tracking branches set up locally, it's as simple as:
git checkout productiongit merge developmentgit push origin production
If you have not yet set up remote-tracking branches, you could do something like:
git fetch origingit checkout production # or `git checkout -b production origin/production` if you haven't set up production branch locallygit merge origin/developmentgit push origin production
you can do this like:
git pull origin development:tempgit push origin temp:production
Why a temp branch is need and you should not to use the local development?Because your local development may not be the same as the remote one.
