After merge to master, rebase with master giving conflicts for all files merged to master

Question

Case

A new branch created for given requirement

• Adding changes as per requirement in the branch and
  • Below commands executed every time we commit
    • git add .
    • git commit -m "comment" (committing changes to branch)
    • git pull --rebase origin master (rebase branch with master)
    • git fetch
    • git push -f origin <branch_name>
• Finally raised a pull request
• Once approved merged either normal or squashed-way

Problem

Now here, conflicts come every time:

• After merge to master, when again on same branch running

  • git pull --rebase origin master (rebase branch with master)
  • Then it’s showing conflicts in all the files where changes were done and
  • It’s not getting resolved in one go and
  • Need to make the changes again and again in the files for the count of commits and
  • Then only rebase is getting successful

How to resolve this

Please advice how to avoid this and any change required in approach?

Problem

After merge to master, when again on same branch running

• git pull --rebase origin master (rebase branch with master)
• Then it’s showing conflicts in all the files where changes were done and
• It’s not getting resolved in one go and
• Need to make the changes again and again in the files for the count of commits and
• Then only rebase is getting successful

Solution: After multiple tries, found below approach solving this ->

After merge to master, if we need to add more changes in same branch

Then i tried below steps and above problem not appeared again ->

1. After merge to master, add more changes in same branch
2. git add .
3. git commit
4. Now instead of git pull --rebase origin master, execute git pull origin master
5. git fetch
6. Now, if we execute git pull --rebase origin master then above stated problem will not arise
7. git push

Answer 2

git pull --rebase origin master is not pulling and rebasing master to your branch. You should

• git checkout master
• git pull --rebase
• git checkout -
• git rebase master
