Merge conflict FAQ
- Are merge conflicts normal?
- Yes. They happen when two branches change the same area differently. The important part is learning how to read and resolve them safely.
- Do I always keep one side of the conflict?
- No. Sometimes you keep one version, sometimes the other, and sometimes you combine both into a better final result.
- What should I do after editing the conflict?
- Stage the resolved file and complete the merge commit so Git records the final merged state.
- Is there an interactive git merge conflict game to practice?
- Yes. Game4Git includes an interactive merge conflict challenge where you edit conflicted code, remove markers, and complete the merge — perfect for learning.
