A step-by-step guide for navigating through the unavoidable pull request using Git

Before we talk about how to resolve this issue, let us first address what is happening here and why it is actually intended to be a safety net implemented to protect the branch.

What happened?

If we read the hint carefully, it is telling us that something has changed upstream. Basically, changes have been made to the remote branch we are pushing to so we are no longer up-to-date on our local version. Git will advise us to address this issue before we proceed, so let’s do that!

How can I fix it?

This can be broken up into 6 steps, it is worth getting familiar with this process as these things happen often.

• Move your local work to a new branch
• Commit and push to your new branch
• Checkout back to the previous branch
• Pull the remote changes
• After we are up-to-date with the remote branch, we can merge the two branches
• We will need to resolve any merge conflicts that may arise using our preferred text editor
