Hello all,
I have recently joined a team there seems to be a couple of issue
with the git repositories:
1- A branch created from development cannot be merged into the
production branch.
(production)
git merge development_feature_branch
fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories
2- If there is a file that only has a 1 line difference in production,
a git diff will return that the whole file is different:
git diff production:folder development:folder
“
diff --git a/folder/file.py b/folder/file.py
index 9bfd6612..20cce520 100644
--- a/folder/file py
+++ b/folder/file.py
@@ -1,245 +1,245 @@
“
I’m not 100% sure what happened here. But it seems that changes and
added files are copied and pasted into the production branch and
uploaded indepenedently as separate files, contributing to a huge
difference between branches.
How can I confirm this hypothesis, and what steps can I take to solve it?
Thank you.

See the git merge man page for the
--allow-unrelated-histories switch.

It sounds to me as if there would be line ending issues or some sort
of whitespace issues (tab vs spaces).

git diff --ignore-all-space
or --ignore-space-at-eol
Look at gitattributes to set your flavor for files so you don't have
to pass these flags all the time
