by Merging definition
- Merging is a fundamental operation to combine and reconcile multiple changes, which results in a single collection of files containing both sets of changes.
- Combining two or more changes into a single codebase
Merging purpose
- Each Developer should be pulling from the main branch into their own feature branch so that they ensure they don’t go too far from the current baseline.
Merging practice
- Merging should happen often.
- Conflicts with the Main branch are seen when Developers rebase more than needed.
- They can do that daily, so that tasks that take more than a couple days stay in sync and merge issues are resolved while they are still small.
- Continuous and Frequent Merges are always recommended.
