Merging Branches

Understand merging: Merging is the process of taking the changes from an isolated branch and integrating them back into the main branch. Switch to the target branch: First, check out the branch you want to merge the changes into, which is typically the master or main branch. Execute the merge: Run git merge followed by the name of the feature branch you want to bring in. Fast-forward merges: If the main branch hasn't changed since you created the feature branch, Git will simply move the main pointer forward. Merge commits: If both branches have diverged with new changes, Git will create a new merge commit combining both histories. Handle merge conflicts: If Git cannot automatically resolve differences, it will pause the merge and ask you to manually fix the conflicting files.
