Simple github fetch/merge not pulling in remote branch?
- by chum of chance
I have a project I forked on github to my repository. I made changes on the "experiment" branch of the project the committed the project to my fork. If you go to my branch on Github you can see the that the experiment branch was correctly committed. I would like to merge the experiment branch with the original repo (which I have rights to). I issued the following commands:
git clone [email protected]:originalrepo/theproject.git
git checkout -b experiment origin/experiment
cd theproject
git remote add experiment [email protected]:chumofchance/theproject.git
git fetch experiment
git merge experiment
"Already up to date"
However, when I view the project in explorer, it appears that nothing has changed. Am I screwing something up in regards to fetching the experiment branch (vs the master branch)?
