Merge Conflicts Workflow
Merge Conflicts occur when Git cannot automatically reconcile code differences, typically when two developers modify the same file line in parallel branches.
Real-world analogy: Shared Calendar Clash
Imagine two people scheduling a meeting on Monday at 3 PM. The calendar system alerts you of the conflict, and you must manually decide which meeting to keep.
- Conflict Markers= Git wraps conflict lines with <<<<<<<, =======, and >>>>>>> markers.
- Staged Resolution= Stage resolved files using 'git add' to mark conflict resolution as complete.
