Following up on melissa-d’s question – if I’m on another branch besides “master”, does “branch merge” merge into the current branch, or does it always merge into “master”?
I have a question i have tried the folowing code according to steps but i noticed when i used the git merge fencing command i got the message that Already up-to-date.
Before this git merge fencing command i have used the following command git branch to see my branches.
So i am confused what happened there, following is my code
Now, I’m going to do the second exercise. I have written the code below:
$ git merge fencing
after running this code the terminal shows me a new page that has a question at the bottom of the page. here is the content:
File /home/ccuser/workspace/peter-pan-resume/.git is being edited (by ccuser with nano 2.5.3, PID 469); continue?
Y Yes
N No ^C Cancel
I expected to merge fencing branch into he master branch. but, it did not. I tried to continue by selecting “Y”.
then another page in terminal comes up which says:
Merge branch ‘fencing’
Please enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary,
especially if it merges an updated upstream into a topic branch.
Lines starting with ‘#’ will be ignored, and an empty message aborts
