Wanna know how to update feature branch with respect to base branch (i.e. development)
I don't wanna use commands; so that's why I prefer Github Desktop
Suppose I have the following branches
master
development
API-Integration
Now I have finished my changes on the API-Integration branch and if someone committed changes on the development branch, then how can I update my feature branch (API-Integration) ;
We can use the below steps. Adding the link with screenshot as well for your reference.
In GitHub Desktop, click Current Branch.
Click Choose a branch to merge into BRANCH.
Click the branch you want to merge into the current branch, then click Merge BRANCH into BRANCH.

I need to merge my master branch code to current branch before building. We don't have access to Git Publisher. I wanted to know what my options are.
I looked into an advanced feature to "Merge before Build" but that seems to merge current branch to master?
Thanks for your help!
I'm using GitHub Desktop for code management. I've created a branch for some code changes to my project, I've committed those changes, and now I want to merge the branch back to the master branch. The GitHub instructions for doing this indicate I need to click the "Update to master" button to perform the merge. Unfortunately, that button is disabled in my case. If I hover over the "Update to master" button the tooltip states " is up to date with master". Yet if I switch back to the master branch it is clear my code changes are not yet in the master branch.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? How can I convince GitHub Desktop that my code changes do indeed need to be merged to the master branch?
I learned the answer: You can merge a feature branch back the master branch by switching to the master branch and then click the Compare button and select the feature branch from the pop-up menu. Now the Update button will merge the feature branch to the master.
When using Gerrit Code Review - is it possible to checkout all unreviewed changes for the master branch in one go? I know it is possible to checkout a specific patch set (https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.12.2/intro-quick.html#_trying_out_the_change), but I would like to get all pending-review commits for the master branch.
Background: we currently aren't using Gerrit yet but we are going to. We have both automated and manual testing of the master branch and I would like to be able to keep on using that, before the review step, so I need to be able to checkout a branch with all pending-review commits.
AFAIK, Gerrit does not provide that feature. In fact, I am not sure if that is even possible without human interaction. If there are N independent unreviewed commits to master, there could be conflicts between them that would make it impossible to automatically build up a branch made of all N commits on top of master.
I am using git for 1st time. I had created a branch on git, after creating branch I had not work on that branch, I did work in master. now I want that changes in my branch also so how can I pull these changes in my branch.
I am using source tree.
In SourceTree you can easily merge these changes into "your branch":
Make sure to checkout master, e.g. by double-clicking on it in the "BRANCHES" section on the left-hand side.
Select the commit of your branch and press the Merge button in the icon bar. You will be asked if you want to merge that branch into the current branch (which is master).
After doing so your branch should be on the same commit like master.
Can one rebase to integrate changes from one branch to another from within Xcode? I know Xcode supports merge but I couldn't find anything for rebasing.
It does not since it tries to provide an abstraction over the version control system in use. If want a Mac GUI for git you could use gitx or sourcetree
While there isn't a git rebase function, you can still sort of rebase.
Checkout the branch you want to rebase
Click Source Control -> Pull
select the branch you want to rebase onto
check off "rebase local changes onto upstream changes"
This should rebase your current branch onto the target branch. Merge conflicts need to be handled manually (deleting the merge conflict annotations in the code).
