Basic merge conflict

Go to your local project and fetch the remote, bringing the branches and their commits from the remote repository. You can use the -p, --prune option to delete any remote-tracking references that no longer exist in the remote. Commits will be stored in a local branch, remote_name/branch_name

$ git fetch <remote_name>

Check out the branch you want to merge into e.g. master

$ git checkout <base_branch>

Merge the changes from the feature branch

$ git merge <feature_branch>

If there's a conflict you can view it with

$ git status

Resolve the conflicts manually or with

$ git mergetool

Stage the files to indicate conflicts have been resolved.

$ git add <file>

Commit to finalize the merge

$ git commit -m "Conflicts resolved"
