How to Resolve Merge Conflicts on GitHub (The Easy Way)

Don’t panic when you see “This branch has conflicts that must be resolved”! In this tutorial from **Beshilo Coding Academy**, we simulate a real-world conflict where Developer 1 and Developer 2 both edit the `Home.js` file.

You’ll see exactly how GitHub detects these overlapping changes and walk through the step-by-step process of using the GitHub web editor to choose the right code, commit the resolution, and successfully merge your pull request.

🚀 **What you’ll learn:**

* **The Conflict Scenario:** Why and how merge conflicts occur in team projects.
* **Browser Authentication:** A quick refresher on authenticating your device for a secure push.
* **GitHub Conflict Resolver:** How to use the built-in tool to identify conflicting lines of code.
* **Manual Fixes:** Deciding which changes to keep and which to remove.
* **Finalizing the Merge:** Completing the merge once the conflict is resolved.
