title: How to merge branch to master?
body: <p>I do have a local branch with some changes, and I want to merge it to remote master. When I run: <strong><code>git merge master</code></strong> I get: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Already up-to-date</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>but I still can see that the master doesn't contain the new changes. </p>
  
  <p>I checked the following issue <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/634546/git-merge-reports-already-up-to-date-though-there-is-a-difference">Git merge reports “Already up-to-date” though there is a difference Ask</a>, but it seems in one hand to be outdated, and on the other hand, none of the hints there were helpful.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea or hint?</p>
