Before Submitting Your Changes

You need to ensure that the changes you are going to submit do not conflict with the repository and are ready for a clean merge.
This is achieved by rebasing your commits on top of the current upstream branch.

git fetch upstream # First get the latest changes.
git rebase upstream/<branch> # Rebase on top of upstream's branch, could be "master".

... # Fix any conflicts then run git rebase --continue

git push --force-with-lease origin <branch> # Push your changes to your feature branch.
											# A force push is necessary as the history just changed.
