Gitlab push see 75 Additions and 30 Deletions while creating merge request

After Gitlab push I see 100 Additions and 30 Deletions, and 8 changed files. While I made only changes to 8 files, not deleted/added any file.

Is it because my local branch is behind master Or some other reason.

If so how I can pull latest changes to my branch without affecting my local changes. Any help appriciated

• 8 changed files means you have changed 8 files
• 100 additions (or "insertions") means you have 100 new lines across those 8 files
• 30 deletions means you have 30 deleted lines across those 8 files

Git only understands "added" and "deleted", it's up to you to infer that deleting one line and adding a new line basically means "this line changed".

It's trivial to test locally:

$ mkdir demo
$ cd demo
$ git init
$ printf '%s\n' line1 line2 line3 line4 > file.txt
$ git add file.txt
$ git commit -m 'initial commit'
$ printf '%s\n' line1 changed2 changed3 line4 > file.txt
$ git add file.txt
$ git commit -m 'changing two lines'
$ git show --stat
