Git says local branch is ahead of remote after having pulled from remote

Question

I’m sorry if the title isn’t clear, but this is a weird problem.

I git checkout to my \"stage\" branch and git pull to get my partner’s latest

Answer 1

Try this command:

git log origin/stage..stage

This show you what you are ahead of the remote. Do a git rebase origin/stage / git push as appropriate.

If it doesn't help, see this question : 'git pull origin mybranch' leaves local mybranch N commits ahead of origin. Why?
