Merging two branches in your local Git repository is a crucial part of keeping your work in sync, whether you're collaborating on a project or managing multiple features.
In this step-by-step guide, I’ll show you how to merge two branches in your local repository using clear demos, so you can stay organized and avoid any headaches down the line.
Steps to follow:
1. First, ensure you're on the correct branch for merging. Run the 'git branch' command to check your current branch.
2. This will show you the current branch.
3. If you're on the wrong branch, switch to the correct one with 'git checkout <target-branch>'.
4. To merge another branch into the current one, use the 'git merge' command.
5. The branch has been successfully merged into the master branch.
6. If there are conflicts during the merge, Git will prompt you to resolve them. After resolving the conflicts, add the changes to the branch.
7. Verify the merge by running 'git log' to check that the commit has been added successfully.
That's it! The branch has been successfully merged.
And there you have it—merging two branches in your local repository is simple and efficient.
By following these steps, you can keep your project’s code up to date and ensure smooth collaboration.
Whether you’re working solo or with a team, this process keeps everything in sync.
