i have a simple question, if i have a branch called a then i checked out another branch from that one, called b, i made some changes in b, commited, then pushed it, and merged b back into a.

now a gets the changes locally on my machine but not in the github website, and a doesn't consider the changes that i've merged as a change in branch a so i can't manually commit then push to a so that it reflects on the github site. how to solve that ?

i tried to change the merged file then push manually, but why would i need to change the file after the merge if i already made all the changes before merging.

【问题讨论】：

did you not push after the merge?
i didn't push into branch a but i would do it if i can, that's the problem after i merge b into a, a has no changes to commit and push so i have to make further unnecessary edits in it if i want to push.
a has no changes to commit but it still has new commits that haven't been pushed yet (the ones you merged). git status should say something likeahead of 'origin/a' by X commits.

【解决方案1】：

and merged b back into a.

If you merged it online through PR (Pull Request), then you would need to refresh a locally.

If you merge it locally, then it depends on how b was merge to a, especially if "a has no changes to commit and push".
git switch a
git merge b
git push
