git merge conflict diff code example

Example 1: what is merge conflict in git

A merge conflict is an event that occurs when Git is unable to
automatically resolve differences in code between two commits.
When all the changes in the code occur on different lines or in
different files, Git will successfully merge commits without
your help

Example 2: merge conflict in git

This is very question because I am facing
with this issue all the time. Basically
conflict arises when more than one commit 
that has to be merged with some change in the
same place or same line of code. In this case
git will not be able to predict which change
to take. So my approach to fix this issue, 
I would stash my project to temporary memory 
and pull the project from github to working 
directory. I would fix the confict and
merge the project and than I would add,
commit and push it the updated version.


git stash        -- > take my project to temp memory
git pull         -- > pull the project from GitHub to working directory
						(my computer)
git stash pop    -- > take my project to my working directory,     
					fix the conflict and merge the project.
git add .
git commit –m “comment”
git push
