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, including the changes we originally made in feature-login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.
