How do I resolve a merge conflict in Git?

To resolve a merge conflict, first, identify the files with conflicts using git status. Then, open those files and look for the conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>). Edit the file to resolve the conflicts, then save it.

What if I don't know how to edit the file?

You can use a text editor like VSCode or even command-line editors like nano or vim. If you're unsure, I can guide you through using one of them.

Can you show me how to use VSCode for this?

Sure! Open the conflicted file in VSCode. You'll see the conflict markers. You can choose which changes to keep or combine them. After editing, save the file and run git add <filename> to stage the resolved file.

What should I do after staging the resolved file?

After staging, you can commit the changes with git commit. This will finalize the merge and resolve the conflict.
