| # How I Resolve Merge Conflicts Easily | ||
|
|
||
| Merge conflicts happen when Git can’t automatically combine changes from different people. It’s not scary — it just means Git needs you to decide which changes to keep. | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ## Steps I Follow to Resolve Conflicts | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Check the conflicted files** | ||
| Git will tell you which files have conflicts after a merge or pull. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. **Open the files and look for conflict markers** | ||
| You’ll see things like `<<<<<<< HEAD`, `=======`, and `>>>>>>> branch-name`. | ||
|
|
||
| 3. **Decide which changes to keep** | ||
| You can keep your changes, the other person’s changes, or combine both. | ||
|
|
||
| 4. **Remove the conflict markers** | ||
| Make sure the file looks exactly how you want it after merging. | ||
|
|
||
| 5. **Save the file** | ||
| Confirm that it works and nothing is broken. | ||
|
|
||
| 6. **Stage the resolved files** | ||
| ```bash | ||
| git add <file-name> | ||
|
|
||
| 7. **Commit the merge** | ||
| git commit | ||
|
|
||
| 8. **Continue working normally** | ||
| Pull, push, or merge as usual. | ||
|
|
||
| Quick Tips | ||
| Communicate with teammates if unsure which changes to keep. | ||
| Keep commits small and pull often — fewer conflicts that way. | ||
| Don’t panic — conflicts are just Git asking for guidance. | ||
|
|
||
| Resolving merge conflicts is easy once you know the steps. Follow them carefully, and Git will never feel intimidating again. | ||
|

| Happy Coding!! | ||
