Hello! Yesterday I submitted my first merge request to a KDE software! I forked the repo, applied the edits, committed them and pushed to my fork, and then from gitlab created a merge request. after a few hours, the author pushed something into the master, making my merge request 1 commit behind the master. On the merge request details page, I now get this error:

Merge blocked: the source branch must be rebased onto the target branch.  [rebase without pipeline]  [rebase]

If I try to click on [rebase], I get this red error:

Source branch is protected from force push

what should I do to make my merge request "mergeable" again?

    Basicly :

    • go to your locale repo
    • git checkout master
    • git pull
    • git checkout 'your feature branch'
    • git rebase master

    And then you'll maybe have to resolve merge conflicts

    They're a ton of guide showing how to deal with this if you need
