Hello! When working with others on GitHub, sometimes two people change the same part of a file and Git doesn’t know which version to keep this is called a merge conflict. To fix it, first pull the latest changes from the branch so you have everyone’s updates. Then open the files Git says have conflicts. You’ll see special markers like <<<<<<<, =======, and >>>>>>> showing the different versions. Choose which parts you want to keep (or combine them), delete the markers, and make sure the file looks correct. Test your code to be sure it still works, then save the file, run git add ., commit with a short message about fixing the conflict, and push your changes back to GitHub. Talking with your team before making big changes helps avoid most conflicts in the first place. Hope that helps! |
