I have develop
& master
branches, my develop
branch is messy now and i would like to reset it and make it as a copy of my master
. i'm not sure if merging the master
into develop
will make both of them identical. after trying to merge i got many conflicts i solved them using:
git checkout develop
git merge origin/master
//got many conflicts
git checkout . --theirs
is this enough for develop
branch to be an identical copy to master
?
Thanks
if you just want them to be the same thing
then
//from Develop and assuming your master is up to date with origin/master
git reset --hard master
If you want to make develop
be identical to master
, the simplest way is just to recreate the pointer:
git branch -f develop master
Or, if you already have develop
checked out:
git reset --hard develop master
Note however that both of these options will get rid of any history that develop
had which wasn't in master
. If that isn't okay, you could preserve it by instead creating a commit that mirrored master
's latest state:
git checkout develop
git merge --no-commit master
git checkout --theirs master .
git commit
git reset HEAD~
If all else fails, you can delete your current branch and just directly recreate it from master
.
git branch -D develop
git checkout master
git checkout -b develop
For example making staging
branch identical to develop
, one could simply recreate the pointer:
First make sure your local develop branch is up to date with origin/develop
by running: git checkout develop && git pull origin develop
Then checkout your target branch (in this case staging
) git checkout staging
And finally but not least reset target branch git reset --hard develop
Push changes by brute force (git will complain because local pointer have different address) git push -f
And that would be pretty much it!
I'm a bit late to the party, however, after merging my dev branch into the master and pushing to the server, I do the following:
git fetch
git checkout development
git merge origin/master
git push
The the dev branch is one commit ahead of the master branch, and other developers don't have to worry about all commits in the development branch being reset.
