GIT: How to copy contents of one branch to other branch?

Question

I have \'develop\' and \'InitialPomChanges\' branches. I want to copy all the contents of develop branch to InitialPomChanges branch.

Answer 1

You can use git merge or git rebase

If you are on the InitialPomBranch, you can simply run

git merge develop

or

git rebase develop

The first one will merge all the commits of the develop branch on to InitialPomBranch. The second one will put all the commits of the develop branch below the first commit of the InitialPomBranch

Edit: Rebase will change the SHA hashes of all the commits of the InitialPomBranch. So you will have to run

git push -f origin InitialPomBranches 

to push all the changes
