Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
-
Your teammate will first fetch the changes from the remote repository to ensure they have the latest code.
git fetch origin
-
They will then create a new branch based on your feature branch.
git checkout -b fix/issue origin/your-feature-branch
-
They will make the necessary changes in this new branch and commit them.
git add . git commit -m "Fix the issue"
-
After committing the changes, they will push this new branch to the remote repository.
git push origin fix/issue
-
They will then create a new pull request in the repository, proposing to merge the
fix/issue
branch into youryour-feature-branch
. -
Once the pull request is reviewed and approved, it can be merged into your feature branch. You can then pull these changes into your local copy of the feature branch.
git checkout your-feature-branch git pull origin your-feature-branch
This workflow ensures that your feature branch is updated with the fixes made by your teammate.
