Conflict Resolution

Part of the Full Stack Developer Roadmap.

Summary

The process of manually reconciling two competing changes to the same lines of code when Git can't automatically merge them.

How to Learn This

  • 1Deliberately create a merge conflict between two branches and resolve it by hand.
  • 2Learn to read the `<<<<<<<`, `=======`, `>>>>>>>` conflict markers confidently.
  • 3Use your editor's merge conflict UI (VS Code has a good one) instead of raw text editing.
