Local Git Branch behind Master Branch #39

Closed tkinsella333 closed 4 years ago

Hi Professor,

I had to copy and paste new code to git and update my file on the actual github.com website as r studio cloud wasn't working for me. I hope this is ok, as I couldn't get my final commits to work out after updating on the github website as my local branch in r studio was behind my master branch on github.com

I assume this isnt a problem in terms of turning in my final work -- i.e as long the file is in my github repo on github.com it should be ok right?

Thanks! Tim

Yes, as long as the correct files are on GitHub you should be ok. Here is some reading on fixing / troubleshooting when your local branch is behind GitHub in case you find yourself in this situation again:
