Beginner’s guide to GitHub: Merging a pull request

GitHub for Beginners provides a comprehensive guide to navigating GitHub efficiently, focusing on crucial aspects such as pull requests and resolving merge conflicts. A pull request is a method for proposing changes from one branch to another, allowing team members to review and test these changes before they are merged. Merge conflicts occur when two branches have modifications to the same section of a file, requiring resolution before the changes can be merged. The guide walks users through creating a merge conflict and resolving it using Git commands, either through the GitHub interface or locally with a code editor. By practicing these skills, users can enhance their proficiency in using GitHub as a collaborative tool, with additional resources and community support available for further learning.
