Merge conflicts are a common challenge when working with Git, occurring when changes in different branches overlap and require manual intervention to reconcile. Despite adhering to best practices such as regular communication and making incremental commits, conflicts can still arise during actions like pulling changes, creating pull requests, or pushing updates to a repository. Resolving these conflicts involves identifying and choosing between the conflicting changes, often marked by Git within the file, and committing the resolved version. In educational settings, deliberately introducing merge conflicts can be a valuable teaching tool, helping students become adept at handling them before encountering real-world scenarios. The process can be facilitated through discussions and collaborative problem-solving in pull requests, while also leveraging resources like talks and educational modules to improve students’ understanding and skills in managing conflicts.
