    $ git push origin develop:master

or, more generally

    $ git push &lt;remote&gt; &lt;local branch name&gt;:&lt;remote branch to push into&gt;

As people mentioned in the comments you probably don&#39;t want to do that...
The answer from mipadi is absolutely correct if you know what you&#39;re doing.

I would say:

    git checkout master
    git pull               # to update the state to the latest remote master state
    git merge develop      # to bring changes to local master from your develop branch
    git push origin master # push current HEAD to remote master branch

&amp;nbsp;

you can install the git tool https://git-scm.com/downloads and it can help with merging branch to master. I created a branch in RStudio, worked on it, pushed changes to github. Then when I wanted to merge I opened this git GUI tool, navigated to the folder with my repository, then merged the branch to master. I opened RStudio to check if the changes had happened, then pushed to github from RStudio. 

You can also do it this way to reference the previous branch implicitly:

    git checkout mainline
    git pull
    git merge -
    git push

As an extend to  @Eugene&#39;s answer another version which will work to push code from local repo to master/develop branch . 

Switch to branch ‘master’:

    $ git checkout master

Merge from local repo to master:

    $ git merge --no-ff FEATURE/&lt;branch_Name&gt;

Push to master:

    $ git push


Follow the below steps for push the local repo into Master branch

`$ git status`

Ruby has this handy and convenient way to share instance variables by using keys like

    attr_accessor :var
    attr_reader :var
    attr_writer :var

Why would I choose `attr_reader` or `attr_writer` if I could simply use `attr_accessor`? Is there something like performance (which I doubt)? I guess there is a reason, otherwise they wouldn&#39;t have made such keys.

Why use Ruby&#39;s attr_accessor, attr_reader and attr_writer?

To move the branch pointer of a checked out branch, one can use the `git reset --hard` command. But how to move the branch pointer of a not-checked out branch to point at a different commit (keeping all other stuff like tracked remote branch)?

I was just knocking around in my global `.gitconfig` file and I noticed that I&#39;ve managed to end up with this:

    [branch]
      autosetupmerge = always
      autosetuprebase = always

That seemed more than a little counterintuitive, but after doing some reading, I still have no idea whether I need both or whether it&#39;s sufficient to remove `autosetupmerge` and just retain `autosetuprebase`. Most projects that I&#39;m working have a straight downstream-&gt;upstream flow, so rebasing is generally preferred when dealing with branches.

autosetuprebase vs autosetupmerge

A new branch from `master` is created, we call it `test`.

There are several developers who either commit to `master` or create other branches and later merge into `master`.

Let&#39;s say work on `test` is taking several days and you want to continuously keep `test` updated with commits inside `master`.

I would do `git pull origin master` from `test`. 

**Question 1:** Is this the right approach?  Other developers could have easily worked on same files as I have worked btw.

-----------------------

My work on `test` is done and I am ready to merge it back to `master`. Here are the two ways I can think of:

**A:**  

    git checkout test
    git pull origin master
    git push origin test
    git checkout master
    git pull origin test 

**B:** 
 
    git checkout test
    git pull origin master
    git checkout master
    git merge test

I am not using `--rebase` because from my understanding, rebase will get the changes from `master` and stack mine on top of that hence it could overwrite changes other people made.

**Question 2:** Which one of these two methods is right?  What is the difference there?

The goal in all of this is to keep my `test` branch updated with the things happening in `master` and later I could merge them back into `master` hoping to keep the timeline as linear as possible.

What is the best (and safest) way to merge a Git branch into master?

I have a repository on github, and someone else has forked it and made changes.

I want to:

1. Create a new branch
2. Merge their changes into my branch

I have created the new branch:

    git commit -b my_new_branch

How do I merge their code into this new branch? 

This is the branch that I have created: https://github.com/poundifdef/VirginMobileMinutesChecker/tree/widget_toast

This is the branch that I want to merge:

What is the best way to do this? I&#39;ve tried a &quot;pull&quot; and it won&#39;t work. I honestly have no idea what I&#39;m doing in gitland, so if there is a better way to accomplish this (besides my creating a branch and trying to merge) then I am all ears!

Git merge from someone else&#39;s fork

I&#39;ve got a project hosted on GitHub which somebody has forked. On their fork, they&#39;ve created a new branch &quot;foo&quot; and made some changes.  How do I pull their &quot;foo&quot; into a new branch also named &quot;foo&quot; in my repo?

I understand they could submit a pull request to me, but I&#39;d like to initiate this process myself.

Assume the following:

 1. Because they forked my project, both our repos share the same &#39;history&#39;
 2. Although GitHub shows their project was forked from mine, my local repository doesn&#39;t have any references to this person&#39;s project. Do I need to add theirs as a remote?
 3. I don&#39;t have a branch called &quot;foo&quot; yet - I don&#39;t know if I need to manually create this first.
 4. I definitely want this pulled into a separate branch and not my master.

I&#39;m trying to pg_dump a SQL database on a remote server in our DMZ. There are 2 problems. 

1) there is not a lot of space left on the remote server so the normal command run to locally backup the database 
`pg_dump -C database &gt; sqldatabase.sql.bak`  won&#39;t work due to space issues. 


2) I also can&#39;t run the other version of pg_dump command to dump database from remote server to local server using: 

    pg_dump -C -h remotehost -U remoteuser db_name | psql localhost -U localuser db_name

as the server is in our DMZ and port 5432 is blocked. What I&#39;m looking to see is if it is possible to pg_dump the database and immediatly save it (ssh or some other form) as a file to a remote server. 
What I was trying was:   `pg_dump -C testdb | ssh admin@ourserver.com | &gt; /home/admin/testdb.sql.bak` 

Does anyone know if what i am trying to achieve is possible?

How to open remote files in sublime text 3

I&#39;ve set up a remote non-bare &quot;main&quot; repo and cloned it to my computer. I made some local changes, updated my local repository, and pushed the changes back to my remote repo. Things were fine up to that point.

Now, I had to change something in the remote repo. Then I changed something in my local repo. I realized that the change to the remote repo was not needed. So I tried to `git push` from my local repo to my remote repo, but I got an error like:

&gt; To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were
&gt; rejected Merge the remote changes before pushing again.  See the &#39;Note
&gt; about fast-forwards&#39; section of `git push --help` for details.

I thought that probably a

    git push --force

would force my local copy to push changes to the remote one and make it the same. **It does force the update**, but when I go back to the remote repo and make a commit, I notice that the files contain outdated changes (ones that the main remote repo previously had).

As I mentioned in the [comments to one of the answers](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5509543/how-do-i-properly-force-a-git-push#comment6275726_5509588):

&gt; [I] tried forcing, but when going back to master server to save the changes, i get outdated staging. Thus, when i commit the repositories are not the same. And when i try to use git push again, i get the same error.

How can I fix this issue?

How do I properly force a Git push?

I&#39;ve been wondering if there&#39;s an easy way to push and pull a local branch with a remote branch with a different name without always specifying both names.

For example:

    $ git clone myrepo.git
    $ git checkout -b newb
    $ ...
    $ git commit -m &quot;Some change&quot;
    $ git push origin newb:remote_branch_name

Now if someone updates remote_branch_name, I can:

    $ git pull

And everything is merged / fast-forwarded. However, if I make changes in my local &quot;newb&quot;, I can&#39;t:

    $ git push

Instead, I have to:

    % git push origin newb:remote_branch_name

Seems a little silly. If `git-pull` uses `git-config branch.newb.merge` to determine where to pull from, why couldn&#39;t `git-push` have a similar config option? Is there a nice shortcut for this or should I just continue the long way?

How can I undo a `git commit` locally and on a remote after `git push`

I cloned a Git repository from my GitHub account to my PC.

I want to work with both my PC and laptop, but with one GitHub account.

When I try to push to or pull from GitHub using my PC, it requires a username and password, but not when I&#39;m using the&#160;laptop!

I don&#39;t want to type my username and password every time I interact with&#160;`origin`. What am I missing&#160;here?

Git push requires username and password

I am wondering if there is a way to view a push date associated with each commit in the git log.  If that is not possible, is there a way to see all the commits under a certain push.

I writing a program that needs to keep track of the commits as they are pushed.  Because the git log is ordered by the commit date, not the push date, I am not able to see the most recent commits that are pushed. For example, if a user commits to his local repository 2 days before he pushes to the master, that commit will be placed behind 2 days of other commits in the master repository log.
