Understanding Git

Commands
This presentation explores three essential Git commands: merge,
pull, and push. These commands are fundamental for collaborating
on software projects, allowing developers to manage changes,
integrate code, and share their work effectively.
Git Merge
Combining Changes
The git merge command integrates changes from different
branches into a single branch.

Conflict Resolution
When merging, conflicts may occur if changes are incompatible.

Fast-Forward vs Non-Fast-Forward
Merges can be fast-forward or non-fast-forward depending on
the branch histories.
Understanding Git Pull
1 Fetching Changes
Git pull combines two commands: fetch and merge.

2 Up-to-Date Code
Ensure local branches are aligned with the latest commits.

3 Automatic Merging
Auto-merging occurs if there are no conflicting changes.
