Instead, you could try the following. You don't have to go to master; you can directly force push the changes from your branch itself.

As explained above, when you do a rebase, you are changing the history on your branch. As a result, if you try to do a normal git push after a rebase, Git will reject it because there isn't a direct path from the commit on the server to the commit on your branch. Instead, you'll need to use the -f or --force flag to tell Git that yes, you really know what you're doing. When doing force pushes, it is highly recommended that you set your push.default config setting to simple, which is the default in Git 2.0. To make sure that your configuration is correct, run:

$ git config --global push.default simple

Once it's correct, you can just run:

$ git push -f

And check your pull request. It should be updated!
