What I can do to resolve "1 commit behind master"?
Before you begin, if you are uncomfortable with a command line, you can do all the following steps using SourceTree, GitExtensions, GitHub Desktop, or your favorite tool.
To solve the issue, you might have two scenarios:
1) Fix only remote repository branch which is behind commit
Example: Both branches are on the remote side
ahead === Master branch
behind === Develop branch
Solution:
Clone the repository to the local workspace: this will give you the Master branch, which is ahead with commit
git clone repositoryUrl
Create a branch with Develop name and checkout to that branch locally
git checkout -b DevelopBranchName // this command creates and checkout the branch
Pull from the remote Develop branch. Conflict might occur. if so, fix theconflict and commit the changes.
git pull origin DevelopBranchName
Merge the local Develop branch with the remote Develop branch
git merge origin develop
Push the merged branch to the remote Develop branch
git push origin develop
2) Local Master branch is behind the remote Master branch
This means every locally created branch is behind.
Before preceding, you have to commit or stash all the changes you made on the branch behind commits.
Solution:
Checkout your local Master branch
git checkout master
Pull from remote Master branch
git pull origin master
Now your local Master is in sync with the remote branch. As a result of the above command, other local branches branched from the previous local Master branch are not in sync. To fix that:
Checkout the branch that is behind your local Master branch
git checkout BranchNameBehindCommit
Merge with the local Master branch
git merge master // Now your branch is in sync with the local Master branch
If this branch is on the remote repository, you have to push your changes.
git push origin branchBehindCommit
Clone your fork:
git clone git@github.com:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git
Add remote from original repository in your forked repository:
cd into/cloned/fork-repo
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
git fetch upstream
Updating your fork from original repo to keep up with their changes:
git pull upstream master
git push
If your branch is behind by master then do:
git checkout master (you are switching your branch to master)git pull git checkout yourBranch (switch back to your branch)git merge master
After merging it, check if there is a conflict or not.
If there is NO CONFLICT then:
git push
If there is a conflict then fix your file(s), then:
git add yourFile(s)git commit -m 'updating my branch'git push
