Git merge is a command that allows us to integrate changes from one branch into another.
Here's a simple example of how to merge changes.
Let's consider two feature branches: feature-login and feature-signup. We've made changes in both branches and want to merge them into the main branch.
Pull Request: We start by creating a pull request to merge feature-login into main. This allows our team to review the changes before they're merged.
Merge: After the pull request is reviewed and approved, we merge feature-login into main. Now, all the changes we made in feature-login are in the main branch.
Update Feature Branch: Next, we want to make sure feature-signup has the latest changes from main. So, we merge main into feature-signup using the git merge command.
Result: Now, feature-signup has all the changes from main, including the changes we originally made in feature-login. This ensures that when we're working on feature-signup, we're doing so with the most up-to-date code.
In this way, we can keep our feature branches updated and ensure smooth integration of changes.
