Master branch won't pull updates from local branch

Question

I created a branch using these commands "git branch placeorder" in my terminal locally, and it was created successfully but when I had committed and pushed my changes, they were not overwritten in my master branch. When I went on Github I saw that I had a branch and a pull request so I thought let me pull the changes but that causes some complications and I decided to delete the branch from github. I still have access to the branch locally but when I try to do "git pull" in the terminal while on the master branch it won´t overwrite my updates and says that my branch is already up to date. Any help will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You can just merge your placeorder branch into your master branch.

First git checkout master to assure you are in master branch;

Then git merge placeorder to perform the merge.
