Git Branching and Merging: How Developers Collaborate Without Overwriting Each Other
A DevOps learner describes practicing Git branching so several developers can work on one application at the same time without changing the main branch directly. Each contributor works on a separate branch, such as one for features, one for bug fixes, and one for updates, and merges the work later. The author explains that when two branches edit the same file, Git may flag a merge conflict that a person must review and resolve manually before committing. The walkthrough covers the basic merge workflow and the steps for fixing conflicts. The author notes that Git's branching model underpins CI/CD practices and plans to explore pull requests, GitHub Actions, and automated deployment next.
