Git Branch Merge
Switching Base
To integrate modifications, first, navigate to the primary branch: bash Copy Edit
git checkout main
OutPut:
Switched to branch 'main'
Uniting Alterations
Merge critical-patch into main:
git merge critical-patch
Example OutPut:
Updating a1b2c3d..e4f5g6h
Fast-forward
revised.html | 3 ++-
1 file adjusted, 2 insertions(+), 1 removal(-)
Since critical-patch originated from main without parallel modifications, Git performs a fast-forward, aligning both references.
Cleaning Up
Eliminate the merged branch:
git branch -d critical-patch
Example OutPut:
Deleted branch critical-patch (was e4f5g6h).
Handling Conflicts
