Dev & startup terminologies | Verb
the number one reason for conflicts between branches and also between developers. Merging is used in a version control system to reconcile multiple changes done to files, most often as a result of a file being modified on two independent branches and then merged. The result of a merge is a single collection of files that contains both sets of changes and which becomes the Single Absolute Source of Truth. Automatic merges are usually used to reconcile changes which happened simultaneously, while manual merging requires a developer to review the code.
“I merged what I worked on yesterday and it didn't throw any conflicts.” “That's what being one with the universe must feel like.”
