As a result, this makes the merge at the end for v4 less of a headache! When doing the rebase you can see that Feature Team 2’s branch now includes the first commit from Feature Team 1 (v2). The grayed-out area is the old history of the branch. This simplifies the process rather than having one big merge at the end you have a few smaller merges.
This happens before committing to the main branch, to make it so that there is less to merge later on. One of the ways to avoid having to deal with merge conflicts is doing what’s called a ‘rebase.’ A rebase is when a branch pulls in the changes from the main branch in the middle of development. Sometimes even one file is deleted in one branch and not the other, causing headaches as to where to put the new changes.

However, when the same code is edited in both branches, this can be difficult. It can be as easy as just accepting the changes from both and moving on. Sometimes the same files may have been edited in different places or touch different variables or components. This can be visualized, in the simplest way, as below: In some scenarios, when the same file is edited in both branches, this is called a merge conflict. Sometimes the merge is pretty straightforward, as none of the files from one branch may have been edited in the other. Having to reconcile those differences is called a merge. In most scenarios, that means two different branches–with two different branches of code. There is an inevitable challenge that will happen when two engineers or teams work on the same part of the codebase and then commit one after the other. It’s the source of truth that engineers merge their code into. The main branch on the remote SCM server is typically the ‘gold standard’ where the code lives, is built from, and deployed from. Explaining Branch and MergeĪn individual engineer will make changes in their local branch and then need to push those changes back up into the main branch on the remote SCM server. One of the most common is, of course, the branch and merge. There are still challenges that we run across in our day-to-day life though.
We can now easily synchronize changes from multiple engineers on the same team, and across a codebase for an entire team. Source control management (SCM) tools like Git have made this much, much easier than it was in the past. We’re all on one team working together to build a performant, high-quality product.
