I want to merge this branch into the master, but it won’t let me. When I compare the two files one way (master --> Nic-Branch), it says there is no difference, but the other way (Nic-Branch --> Master), bare differences.
This is just how Git works; it’s entirely diff based (to put it extremely simply). The Nic-branch has diffs that master doesn’t, and it knows that. Doesn’t work the other way around, though. master has no knowledge of what’s going on inside Nic-branch.
