How do I resolve merge conflicts in Git?

To resolve merge conflicts in Git, first, identify the files with conflicts using git status. Then, open those files and look for conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>). Decide how to merge the changes, remove the markers, and save the file.

What if I want to keep changes from both branches?

If you want to keep changes from both branches, you can manually edit the file to include the desired changes from both sides. After editing, remove the conflict markers and save the file.

How do I mark a conflict as resolved?

Once you've resolved the conflicts in the files, use git add <filename> to stage the resolved files. Then, commit the changes with git commit to finalize the merge.

Can I abort the merge if I change my mind?

Yes, you can abort the merge by running git merge --abort. This will revert your branch to the state before the merge started.
