How can I resolve code conflicts in Git?

To resolve code conflicts in Git, you can follow these steps: 1. Identify the conflicting files. 2. Open the files and look for conflict markers. 3. Manually edit the files to resolve the conflicts. 4. After resolving, stage the changes using 'git add'. 5. Finally, commit the changes with 'git commit'.

What are conflict markers?

Conflict markers are special lines added by Git in files that have conflicts. They look like this: '<<<<<<< HEAD', '=======', and '>>>>>>> branch-name'. They indicate the conflicting changes between your branch and the branch you're merging.

Can I use a tool to help with this?

Yes, there are several tools like GitKraken, SourceTree, or even built-in IDE tools that can help visualize and resolve conflicts more easily.

What if I want to abort the merge?

If you want to abort the merge, you can use the command 'git merge --abort'. This will revert your branch back to the state before the merge started.
