Summary

GitHub has introduced a new feature that allows users to resolve simple merge conflicts directly within pull requests, streamlining the merging process by eliminating the need to use the command line for certain conflicts. This enhancement is particularly useful for resolving conflicts arising from competing changes to the same line of a file on different branches. However, more complex conflicts still require resolution through the command line. For additional guidance on managing merge conflicts both on GitHub and via the command line, users are encouraged to consult the GitHub Help documentation.
