Your branch and origin/master have diverged

I know others have asked this question but I want to understand what it means.I am still learning git.

I was on the branch sample-tests I did the following :

git checkout master- I switched to master branch

git pull - I did this to pull all the remote code to my local, so that I have a updated local code.

and I see this:

` On branch master Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged, and have 2 and 40 different commits each, respectively. (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)

All conflicts fixed but you are still merging. (use "git commit" to conclude merge)

What does this mean: On branch master Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged, and have 2 and 40 different commits each, respectively.

Obviously I am on the local master branch. Does it mean that my local master branch is not the same as the remote master branch?

Should I do:

git add .

git commit -m "message". to resolve this? Also should I be doing this on the current master branch I am on?

I resolved the conflicts, staged and tried committing. However I think the commit didnt go through, I think because I am getting the following error. Is the error in cypress.json?What is the error that prettier --write found?

` renukaalurkar$ git commit -m "resolving errors"

husky > pre-commit (node v12.14.1)

Solution

Seems like you have 2 local commits and 40 on remote branch. Git tried to resolve the differences, but it failed, so uou hav conflicts in some files now.

I would check these two files:

cypress.json
cypress/support/commands.js

Fix any problems you find there and then stage them. After that git commit.
