Merging
Git merging is the process of combining changes from one branch into another. This is commonly used to integrate
feature development, bug fixes, or other updates into a main branch. Git automatically tries to combine changes,
but in some cases, conflicts may occur if changes overlap.
Use Cases:
- Feature Development
- Refactoring Code
- Bug Fixing
- Code Review
- Release Management
- Team Collaboration
- Experimentation
Examples:
Merge current branch into specified branch:
git merge [branch-name]
Cancel a merge if there is conflict:
git merge --abort
Ensure dedicated branch commit to keep branch history intact:
git merge --no-ff [branch-name]
