<summary><b>How to resolve git merge conflicts?</b></summary><br>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
First, you open the files which are in conflict and identify what are the conflicts.
|
||||||
|
Next, based on what is accepted in your company or team, you either discuss with your
|
||||||
|
colleagues on the conflicts or resolve them by yourself
|
||||||
|
After resolving the conflicts, you add the files with `git add <file_name>`
|
||||||
|
Finally, you run `git rebase --continue`

|

|
<p>
|
||||||
|
`git revert` creates a new commit which undoes the changes from last commit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`git reset` depends on the usage, can modify the index or change the commit which the branch head
|
||||||
|
is currently pointing at.
