How do I handle conflicts in my Git repository?

To handle conflicts in your Git repository, first, identify the files with conflicts using git status. Then, open those files and look for conflict markers.

What are conflict markers?

Conflict markers are special lines added by Git to indicate the conflicting changes. They look like this: <<<<<<< HEAD, =======, and >>>>>>> branch-name.

How do I resolve the conflicts once I see the markers?

You can resolve conflicts by editing the file to keep the desired changes, then remove the conflict markers. After that, stage the changes and commit.

Is there a way to avoid conflicts in the first place?

Yes, regularly pulling changes from the remote repository and communicating with your team can help minimize conflicts.
