DevOps Complete Course - Resolving Merge Conflicts

This video tutorial explains how to merge changes from one branch to another in Git, focusing on merge conflicts. It covers the setup of local systems, creating and switching branches, simulating merge conflicts, and resolving them. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of communication between developers to resolve conflicts effectively.

What is a merge conflict in Git?

• A situation where two branches are merged without any issues.

• A conflict that occurs when two developers make changes to the same line of code in different branches.

• A problem that arises when a branch is deleted accidentally.

• A scenario where a developer cannot push changes to the remote repository.

What is the purpose of setting up two developers in the demonstration?

• To illustrate the process of creating a merge conflict.

• To demonstrate how to create a new repository.

• To explain how to switch between branches.

• To show how to delete branches.

What does the 'git log' command display?

• The list of all branches.

• The list of all remote repositories.

• The current status of the working directory.

• The commit history of the repository.

What is the role of the 'git checkout' command in the context of this tutorial?

• To merge branches.

Why does Developer 1 encounter a merge conflict?

• Because Developer 1 forgot to commit changes.

• Because Developer 1 and Developer 2 made changes to the same line in file 2.

• Because Developer 1 did not pull the latest changes.

• Because Developer 1 used the wrong branch.

Why is it important to pull the latest changes before merging branches?

• To automatically resolve any conflicts.

• To create a new branch.

• To delete any unnecessary files.

• To ensure the local branch is up-to-date with the remote repository.

What is the first step in resolving a merge conflict?

• Create a new branch to avoid the conflict.

• Delete the conflicting file.

• Collaborate with the other developer to decide which changes to keep.

• Revert all changes made by both developers.

What does the 'git add' command do in the context of resolving a merge conflict?

• It creates a new branch.

• It pulls the latest changes from the remote repository.

What is the significance of the 'git commit' command after resolving a merge conflict?

• It deletes the resolved changes.

• It creates a new branch with the resolved changes.

• It pushes the resolved changes to the remote repository.

• It finalizes the resolution by saving the changes.
