I have 2 branch. develop and feature/KUB-23446. feature/KUB-23446 is created from develop but develop have many more changes commited from another branches. How can i update feature/KUB-23446 with latest changes of develop. Give me multiple approaches.

Approach# 1 – Merge Way

You can update the feature/KUB-23446 branch with the latest changes from the develop branch using multiple approaches. Here are three common methods:
 
Merge develop into feature/KUB-23446:
 
This approach involves creating a merge commit to bring the changes from develop into feature/KUB-23446. It's straightforward and retains a clear history of the branch relationships.
 
$ git checkout feature/KUB-23446
$ git merge develop
 
Resolve any conflicts if they occur and then commit the merge. Finally, push the updated feature/KUB-23446 branch to the remote repository if needed.
 
$ git push origin feature/KUB-23446

Approach# 2 – Rebase Way

Rebase feature/KUB-23446 onto develop:
 
This approach replays the changes from feature/KUB-23446 on top of the latest develop branch, resulting in a linear history without merge commits.
 
$ git checkout feature/KUB-23446
$ git rebase develop
 
Resolve conflicts if they occur during the rebase process. After resolving conflicts, continue the rebase with git rebase --continue. Once the rebase is complete, push the updated feature/KUB-23446 branch.
 
$ git push origin feature/KUB-23446
 
Be cautious with rebasing, as it rewrites commit history. This approach is suitable if you want to maintain a cleaner, linear history.

Approach# 3 – Cherry-pick

Cherry-pick individual commits from develop to feature/KUB-23446:
 
If you want more fine-grained control over which changes from develop are added to feature/KUB-23446, you can cherry-pick specific commits.
 
First, checkout the feature/KUB-23446 branch:
 
$ git checkout feature/KUB-23446
 
Then, cherry-pick the commits you want from develop:
 
$ git cherry-pick <commit-hash1> <commit-hash2> ...
 
Replace <commit-hash1>, <commit-hash2>, etc., with the actual hashes of the commits you want to cherry-pick from develop. After cherry-picking, resolve any conflicts that may arise and commit the changes.
 
Finally, push the updated feature/KUB-23446 branch to the remote repository:
 
$ git push origin feature/KUB-23446
