Push changes to another branch in github

Question

Silly question, but i need help.

There are two branches in the same repository in git-hub. A and BI have cloned the branch A, i made some changes and now I want to push the changes to branch B.With 'git status' i can see that my branch is up-to-date with 'origin/A'. Should i add and commit the changes and then just 'push' to 'origin/B'?

What can I do to push the changes to the correct branch(B) and not A?I don't want to replace anything in the A branch.

Answer 1

This should work:

• switch on branch B :

   git checkout B 

• merge A in B

   git merge A 

• push the changes

   git push origin B 

Answer 2

You just need to do git push origin frombranch:tobranch

EDIT after looking at your clarifying comments: git checkout branch-b; git merge branch-a

assuming you have origin\\branch-a and is updated.

Answer 3

If A is up to date, and is your origin, checkout branch B and just do git merge origin and B will be updated with all A's latest changes. If you want to check first before merging origin (A), do git fetch origin then do git log -p HEAD..origin to see the changes you are going to merge.
