I have these 2 branches on my remote GitHub repository:

  • development
  • master

How do I merge development into master on the remote repository? I've tried

git merge development

and 

git merge origin

but it says the repo is up to date so I'm doing it wrong because github says development is 12 commits ahead of master.

Update

Thanks for the follow ups - here's some more info, I did a push to the remote repository with

git push origin

and my changes have been committed. If I do a clone in another folder I see all the changes there if I checkout the development branch.

git branch -av 
development      8265e30 - etc
hotfix-t4        8342e44 - etc 
*master          0041bod - Initial Commit
