Hi,

you always work in your own branch.

git checkout -b my_branch

Hack Hack Hack

1. git add .
2. git commit -m "My commit message here"
3. git checkout master
4. git pull # get all the changes happened in master
5. git checkout my_branch # Back in my_branch
6. git rebase master #The Black magic. Commit all you change on top of
the master ones
7. git checkout master # Back in master
8. git merge my_branch # It’s gonna be a fast forward merge
9. git push


instead of
5.
6.
7.

you can do
5b. git merge my_branch (when you are in master)

This will try to do a normal merge, if it fails you have to solve the
conflicts with
6b. git mergetool
and commit
7b. git ci -am "Solved the conflicts"


My two cents,
Michele.
