Lecture 115:- Git Merging Branches

Merging branches in Git allows you to combine changes from one branch into another. The basic steps for merging branches are as follows:

1. Make sure you're on the branch you want to merge changes into. For example, if you want to merge changes from a branch called my-feature-branch into master, you would first switch to the master branch using git checkout master.
2. Run the git merge command followed by the name of the branch you want to merge in. For example, to merge changes from my-feature-branch into master, you would run git merge my-feature-branch.
3. Git will attempt to automatically merge the changes. If there are conflicts between the changes made on the two branches, Git will prompt you to manually resolve the conflicts.
4. Once the merge is complete, review the changes and make sure they're correct. You can use git log or a Git client to view the commit history and changes on the merged branches.
5. If the changes look good, push the merged changes to the remote repository using git push. For example, if you merged changes into master, you would run git push origin master.

It's important to be careful when merging branches, especially when there are conflicts. Make sure to review the changes carefully and resolve any conflicts before pushing the changes to the remote repository.
