Dumping master into git branch?

Question

git

I switched to the old branch, did git pull origin master, there were no conflicts, I made a change to 1 file in it, I want to commit and push.
git status shows 1 changed file.
Confusing is this: why does GitHub Desktop show the number 153 next to the push?

Answer 1

When you pulled from the master branch, all the changes were in the old one, plus you added another commit of yours. Naturally, nothing has changed on the remote branch. Here it shows you that you will push a bunch of changes there from the master, plus one more last one.
