Question

What is the best way to handle merge conflicts when editing code on GitHub?

Answer 1

To handle merge conflicts:

1. When you encounter a merge conflict, GitHub will notify you.
2. You can resolve conflicts directly on GitHub by editing the conflicted files.
3. After resolving, commit the merge.

Example:

• GitHub will show conflict markers like <<<<<< HEAD.
• Edit the file to resolve conflicts.
• Commit the resolved changes.
