git rebasing from local branch off remote branch

Question

I have a local branch test , and I want to rebase off of the remote branch test , how would I do this? I have tried git rebase origin test , but the changes someone pushed a short while ago aren't being rebased into my local?

Answer 1

You have to first fetch data from the server (this won't affect your branch, but will update the branch origin/test with the remote changes).

git fetch

Then you can do your rebase

git rebase origin/test

You can now push your branch test

git push origin test
