Merging Branches (git merge)

'git merge' integrates changes from one branch into another.

Usage

To merge another branch into your current branch:

git merge [branch-name]

Explanation: This merges the specified branch into the branch you're currently on. Git will try to automatically combine the changes.

Key Takeaways

  • 'git merge' combines the changes from two branches into one.
  • It can lead to conflicts if the same parts of files were changed differently in each branch.
