Git and GitHub Masterclass - The Practical Bootcamp - Merge Conflict on Pull Request

The video tutorial explains merge conflicts in version control systems, demonstrating how they occur when multiple users work on the same file. It covers creating branches, making changes, and resolving conflicts using Git commands. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of communication and understanding in resolving conflicts and provides best practices for handling them effectively.

What is a merge conflict?

• A situation where two users edit different files.

• A problem that arises when a branch is not updated.

• A scenario where two users make changes to the same line of code.

• A conflict that occurs when a file is deleted.

Why is it important to create a new branch before making changes?

• To avoid losing the original code.

• To ensure changes are made directly to the main branch.

• To isolate changes and prevent conflicts with the main branch.

• To make it easier to delete changes if needed.

What command is used to pull changes from the upstream repository?

• git clone upstream

• git fetch upstream

• git merge upstream

• git pull upstream

What is the first step in resolving a merge conflict?

• Create a new branch.

• Delete the conflicting branch.

• Choose which changes to keep.

• Revert all changes.

What happens if you don't resolve a merge conflict?

• The branch will be deleted.

• The changes will be lost.

• The changes will be automatically merged.

• The merge will fail and the conflict will remain.

What should you do after resolving a merge conflict?

• Create a new branch for further changes.

• Revert all changes to the previous state.

• Delete the branch immediately.

• Push the resolved changes to the remote repository.

What is the purpose of a pull request?

• To delete a branch.

• To merge changes from one branch to another.

• To revert changes in a branch.

• To create a new branch.

Why is communication important in resolving merge conflicts?

• To avoid making any changes to the code.

• To decide which changes to keep and understand the reasons behind them.

• To ensure everyone knows who made the changes.

• To ensure that all changes are made by a single person.

What should you do before pushing changes to a remote repository?

• Delete the local branch.

• Revert all changes.

• Pull the latest changes from the upstream repository.

• Create a new branch.

How can you ensure your local branch is up-to-date?

• By making changes directly to the main branch.

• By deleting the local branch.

• By pulling changes from the upstream repository.

• By creating a new branch.
