Question

I’ve cloned a repository called A and created a new branch called Li.
Now someone updated A’s master branch and I’ve pulled the changes to my master branch using:

git checkout master
git pull origin master

Now I want to update my branch (Li) with the changes.
How do I do it?

In adittion, after updating my local branch with the changes, I need to update the remote Li branch with the changes as well, right?
Do I do it by using:

git checkout Li
git push origin Li 

Answer 1

To merge changes from master in your Li branch, use the following commands:

git checkout Li
git merge master

You’re right for pushing changes to origin, this will create a new Li branch on origin.
