Merge GIT Branches in GitHub

It’s easy, believe me.

You need both branches in your local repo, but first you need two branches.

I copied the master over master-tx to accept there Transifex pushes:

git push origin master:refs/heads/master-tx

I’m not sure if that was OK, but it worked for me, mainly because I needed the remote branch, but at that moment I had no idea about merging.

Then you create a local copy of your new remote branch:

git branch master-tx origin/master-tx

Select the new branch:

git checkout master-tx

Get the remote changes:

git pull origin master-tx

Go back to your master branch:

git checkout master

Merge the changes from the new branch:

git merge master-tx

And push the changes!

git push

Easy! It’s so easy that I think it’s a good idea to write it all here. heh.
