Git merge is a command that combines two or more sets of changes made to the same file or repository. It takes the changes made in one branch and applies them to another branch. This is useful when working with multiple developers on different branches, or when trying to combine features from multiple branches into a single release.
The syntax for git merge is:
git merge [branch name]
This will take the changes from the specified branch and apply them to the current branch. Git will attempt to automatically resolve any conflicts between the two branches, but sometimes manual intervention may be required.
It is important to note that merging should be done carefully, as it can result in unintended consequences if not done properly. It is recommended to thoroughly review all changes before merging and to have a backup plan in case something goes wrong.
