Here are the commands I used from the master branch
git branch experiment
git checkout experiment
Then I made some changes to my files, committed the changes, and pushed the new branch to GitHub.
git commit . -m 'changed files'
git push -u origin experiment
Later on I decided to merge my experiment branch into the master branch.
git checkout master
git merge experiment
Finally I pushed the changes to GitHub.
git push -u origin master
All went well until I tried deleting my experiment branch using
git branch -d experiment
I got the error message:
error: The branch ‘experiment’ is not fully merged.
If you are sure you want to delete it, run ‘git branch -D experiment’.
I’m a bit new to git, and I don’t know how much more I could possibly merge the two branches. What am I missing here?
