How do I update my branch?

See below. Don't include the $ in your commands.

$ git status # make sure you dont have any uncommitted changes
$ git checkout dev
$ git pull origin dev
$ git checkout <your branch>
$ git rebase dev
$ git push origin <your branch> --force

When I do git pull origin dev I see errors. Help!

To fix this, first make sure you are on the dev branch. Run the commands below:

$ git fetch origin dev
$ git reset --hard origin/dev
# continue with the git checkout <your branch> step above

How do I squash commits?

  1. Type this command
$ git rebase -i dev
  1. Here, a text editor (typically vim) should pop up.

Small lesson on vim: press i to enter insert mode (normal document editing) and press esc to enter command mode. To edit the text, press i and use the arrow keys to navigate around and backspace to delete characters. To save your work, you need to go back to command mode by pressing esc. Then, type :wq to save the editor. A small cheatsheet can be found here

Change all but the top pick keyword to s to squash your commits. An example of this file is shown below.

  1. Save the file. There may or may not be merge conflicts for you to resolve. Once the conflicts are resolved and the branch is done rebasing, force push to origin.
$ git push origin <your branch> --force
