What is a git merge and how do I use it?

A git merge is a command that integrates changes from one branch into another. You typically use it to combine features or updates.

Can you show me the command to merge a branch?

Sure! To merge a branch named 'feature-branch' into your current branch, you would use: git merge feature-branch.

What happens if there are conflicts during the merge?

If there are conflicts, Git will pause the merge and mark the files with conflicts. You'll need to resolve them manually before completing the merge.

How do I resolve merge conflicts?

To resolve merge conflicts, open the conflicted files, look for the conflict markers, and edit the file to resolve the differences. After that, stage the changes and complete the merge.
