Issue with Pushing Code after Merging Changes from Multiple Branches

I have a branch feature-branch and feature-branch-new-for-merging. I have made clone from feature-branch and take the pull from feature-branch-new-for-merging and made changes and when I'm pushing the code. I’m receiving this:

hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g. hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again. hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

 
Got it! If you’re trying to push and encountering this issue, it means your local branch is behind the remote, and Git won’t allow you to push without first integrating those remote changes. Here’s how to handle this safely:

Option 1: Merge Remote Changes Locally, Then Push

This is the safer option, as it integrates the remote updates without losing any local work.

1. Fetch the latest changes from the remote:

   git fetch origin eight8
   

2. Merge the fetched changes into your local branch:

   git merge origin/eight8
   

3. Resolve any merge conflicts if they arise:

   • Open each conflicted file, make necessary adjustments, and save.
   • Once resolved, mark each file as resolved:

     git add conflicted-file-name
     

   • Commit the merge:

     git commit
     

4. Push your changes after merging:

   git push origin eight8
   

Option 2: Use a Force Push (If You Want to Overwrite Remote Changes)

Only do this if you’re certain that your local branch’s version is the one you want to keep on the remote. This will overwrite any remote changes with your local commits:

git push -f origin eight8

Note: Be cautious with a force push, as it will remove any commits on the remote branch that are not in your local branch.
