秒懂Git分支的合并机制

Basic Branching and Merging

两种合并的情况：Fast-forward,merge-commit

1. Fast-forward 快进

when you try to merge one commit with a commit that can be reached by following the first commit’s history, Git simplifies things by moving the pointer forward because there is no divergent work to merge together — this is called a “fast-forward.”

如下：将hotfix分支合并到master分支上，只是将master分支上的指针向前移了一下。

$ git checkout master
$ git merge hotfix
Updating f42c576..3a0874c
Fast-forward
 index.html | 2 ++
 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+)
