Merging branches in Git

Some notes regarding merging branches in Git, so far using PhpStorm (command line version to follow)

  • Clone the main Tiki repository from https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki.git
    Screenshot 2020 03 25 At 14.34.04
    This is the big one, over 3GB and will take a while
  • Check out master using the "Git Branches" menu at the bottom right of the main window
    Screenshot 2020 03 25 At 14.38.58
  • Then select "Merge into Current" on the origin/21.x branch (in this case)
    Screenshot 2020 03 25 At 14.40.10
  • Then push the merged commits back to origin (gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki.git)
    Screenshot 2020 03 25 At 14.43.51
  • If you get this warning dialog there have been changes to master since you last updated, so chose Rebase which will insert the changes from the origin before the merge you are doing
    Screenshot 2020 03 25 At 14.48.34
  • If there are any conflicts you will see something like this

  • Click Merge... and you will see the merge editor
    Screenshot 2020 03 25 At 14.54.29
    Click the "Apply non-conflicting changes: All" in the top toolbar
  • Sometimes that's enough to do it, as in this case, but if the conflict is more complicated you will need to resolve it manually, see this page for more details
    When all is well this message should appear allowing you to apply the changes

In this instance the rebasing part didn't seem to go totally smoothly, so i have to update the project again, and then push a second time and it worked as expected.

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
