Rebasing

If you want to rebase a branch based on remote master branch, git rebase origin/master is not enough, it will not get new commits directly from origin/master. You need to git fetch before git rebase origin/master.

Or you can use another way to rebase a branch.

switch to master git checkout master git pull origin master switch back to your own branch git checkout <your branch> git rebase origin/master then, your branch is updated to newest commits.
