Don’t let merge conflicts slow you down! 🚀 In this tutorial, **Beshilo Coding Academy** takes you inside the VS Code Merge Editor to show you how to handle code clashes like a pro.
We demonstrate how to compare changes side-by-side, decide between “Current” and “Incoming” code, and finally resolve the conflict to merge your features into the main branch. Once the merge is complete, we show you how to clean up your workspace by deleting old feature branches.
**What You’ll Master:**
✅ **The Merge Editor:** Using VS Code’s built-in tools to compare file differences.
✅ **Conflict Resolution:** Choosing between Accept Current Change, Accept Incoming Change, or Both.
✅ **Finalizing the Merge:** How to complete the process so your `main` branch is up to date.
✅ **Branch Cleanup:** Using the command line to delete branches like `register` after a successful merge.
✅ **Repetitive Workflow:** Creating new branches like `login` and adding new files (`login.js`) to keep the cycle going.
