Don’t panic when you see a merge conflict! 🚀 In this tutorial, **Beshilo Coding Academy** walks you through the reality of modern software development: merging code from different branches.
We show you exactly what happens when two versions of a file clash and how to use the VS Code Merge Editor to choose between “Current Changes” and “Incoming Changes.” Mastering this workflow is what allows developers to work together on the same project without deleting each other’s work.
**What You’ll Master:**
✅ **Setting Upstream:** Using `git push –set-upstream origin [branch]` for the first push.
✅ **Branch Navigation:** Switching between your feature branch and the `main` branch.
✅ **The Merge Command:** Using `git merge [branch-name]` to bring your features into production.
✅ **Conflict Resolution:** How to identify a merge conflict and use the VS Code editor to fix it.
✅ **Team Logic:** Understanding how multiple developers contribute to a single repository.
