How do you pull a commit that someone else made on your branch?

I have some work done on a branch: WIP-my-branch. I pushed up my branch and made a PR (yet to be approved b/c it's in progress). I got stuck, then asked for help; a co-worker then pushed up a commit on to my branch. I can see her commit on Github, but doing git pull on my branch does not get her commit (the most recent commit on the branch). How can I accomplish this?

Solution

  • You need to add your co-worker's remote and merge in their changes.

    git remote add coworker_remote url_to_their_repo
git remote update
git merge coworker_remote/WIP-my-branch
