Merge multiple times the same branch into another

Question

Im using GIT. Let's say I have the branch development and production. I made some changes on development and merged to production. Everything worked as expected. Then I continue modifying development, and when I want to merge again with production, git says "Already up-to-date."... so how's the way to marge multiple times the same branch into another?

Answer 1

I guess you tried merging production to development and production did not evolve further, or at least you didn't fetch the changes. Merging a branch multiple times into another works fine if there were changes to merge.

Answer 2

Actually yes you totally can, when you merge again it will bring over any commits that don't exist on production.
