in my version control I have:

  • master
  • branchA
  • branchB

branchA was checked out from master and branchB was checked out from branchA:

master -> branchA -> branchB

Questions:

  • if I update and push to branchA then how do I pull the update into branchB?
  • is there a way to verify what is the origin of a particular branch (I mean where it was checkout out from, sorry if the terminology is incorrect)

Merge branchA into branchB would bring you the changes from branchA to branchB:

git checkout branchB
git merge branchA

With git log you can see your commit history in the terminal and also the origin/emergence of all branches. Have also a look in this question.

Another approach is a Git GUI-Client that visualizes a nice Git history tree by default, giving you a simple overview.

To find a suitable Git GUI-Client, see this documentation.
