How do I resolve merge conflicts in my Django project using Git?

I'm having trouble with merge conflicts in my Django project. How can I resolve them?

Merge conflicts occur when changes from different branches overlap. You can resolve them by following these steps: 1. Identify the files with conflicts. 2. Open those files and look for conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>). 3. Manually edit the files to resolve the conflicts. 4. After resolving, add the files to the staging area using 'git add'. 5. Finally, commit the changes.

What if I don't want to keep the changes from one of the branches?

If you want to discard the changes from one branch, you can use 'git checkout --ours <file>' to keep your branch's changes or 'git checkout --theirs <file>' to keep the other branch's changes. After that, remember to add and commit the changes.

Can I use a GUI tool to help with this?

Yes, many GUI tools like GitKraken, SourceTree, or even IDEs like PyCharm have built-in merge conflict resolution features that can make this process easier.

What should I do if I keep getting conflicts?

If you keep getting conflicts, it might be helpful to communicate with your team about changes being made. Regularly pulling changes from the main branch can also help minimize conflicts.
