merged changes isn't considered as a change in the branch that i merged into-CodePudding

i have a simple question, if i have a branch called a then i checked out another branch from that one, called b, i made some changes in b, commited, then pushed it, and merged b back into a.

now a gets the changes locally on my machine but not in the github website, and a doesn't consider the changes that i've merged as a change in branch a so i can't manually commit then push to a so that it reflects on the github site. how to solve that ?

i tried to change the merged file then push manually, but why would i need to change the file after the merge if i already made all the changes before merging.

CodePudding user response：

and merged b back into a.

If you merged it online through PR (Pull Request), then you would need to refresh a locally.

If you merge it locally, then it depends on how b was merge to a, especially if "a has no changes to commit and push".

git switch a
git merge b
git push
