Git. Make sure branch is updated

I had to make sure my git branch is updated with my master.

So at my master branch

git pull master

Next, I switched to my branch named ‘feature_super_tag’.

git checkout feature_super_tag

and then

git rebase master

A good explanation of what a rebase does is from these two blogs:

Note: It’s a good policy to never work in your master. Make a branch first for any changes you want to do.
