# Merge Strategies
If you want to merge changes from one branch to multiple branches, there are several ways to do it. Here are a few options:
1. **Merge the changes into each branch separately**: You can create a pull request from your `newbranch` to `dev`, merge the changes into `dev`, and then create separate pull requests from `dev` to `qa` and `stg`. This approach is straightforward but requires multiple pull requests.
2. **Cherry-pick the changes into each branch**: You can cherry-pick the changes from your `newbranch` into `qa` and `stg`. This approach is faster than creating multiple pull requests, but it can be error-prone if there are conflicts between the branches.
3. **Use an octopus merge**: An octopus merge is a type of merge that allows you to merge multiple branches at once. You can use this approach if you want to merge your changes into all three branches at once. Heres how you can do it:
```
git checkout qa
git merge stg dev newbranch
```
This will merge the changes from `newbranch`, `dev`, and `stg` into `qa`. You can then repeat this process for the other branches.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
