🧨 Merge Conflicts

When pulling, conflicts may look like this:

<<<<<<< HEAD
Your local changes here
=======
Incoming changes from remote here
>>>>>>> branch-name

What to Do:

1. Manually edit to fix the conflict Open the file in your code editor. Look for the conflict markers:

• <<<<<<< HEAD
• =======
• >>>>>>> branch-name

Decide which code to keep, or combine both parts if needed. Then delete the conflict markers and any unwanted lines.

Example: Before fixing:

<<<<<<< HEAD
console.log("Hello from my changes");
=======
console.log("Hello from the team's changes");
>>>>>>> main

After fixing:

console.log("Hello from my changes");
// or merge them:
console.log("Hello from my changes and the team's changes");

1. Stage the resolved file:

git add <filename>

1. Commit the merge:

git commit -m "Resolved merge conflict"

🔁 Restart: Undo All Changes Since Last Commit

Remove all changes (staged & unstaged) and start fresh:

git reset --hard

⚠️ Warning: This cannot be undone! Changes since the last commit are lost forever.
