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?

You can manually merge the changes by editing the file to include both sets of changes. Just ensure you remove the conflict markers afterward.

Is there a way to abort the merge if I change my mind?

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

Can I use a visual tool to help with merge conflicts?

Absolutely! Tools like GitKraken, SourceTree, or even IDEs like Visual Studio Code have built-in merge conflict resolution features that can make the process easier.
