Git Branch Merge

Switching Base

To integrate modifications, first, navigate to the primary branch: bash Copy Edit 

git checkout main

Output:

Switched to branch 'main'

Uniting Alterations

Merge critical-patch into main:

git merge critical-patch

Example Output:

Updating a1b2c3d..e4f5g6h   
Fast-forward    
    revised.html | 3 ++-    
   1 file adjusted, 2 insertions(+), 1 removal(-)

Since critical-patch originated from main without parallel modifications, Git performs a fast-forward, aligning both references.

Cleaning Up

Eliminate the merged branch:

git branch -d critical-patch

Example Output:

Deleted branch critical-patch (was e4f5g6h).

Handling Conflicts

Progressing on Another Line

Modify media-enhancement branch by including new_graphic.jpg and updating revised.html: bash Copy Edit 

git checkout media-enhancement

Output:

Switched to branch 'media-enhancement'

HTML Adjustments

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
     <title>Greetings</title> 
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="visuals.css"> 
</head> 
<body>  
   <h1>Salutations!</h1> 
   <div><img src="old_graphic.jpg" alt="Visual from Space" style="width:100%;max-width:900px"></div>

   <div><img src="new_graphic.jpg" alt="Updated Illustration" style="width:100%;max-width:600px"></div>  
</body> 
</html>

Recording Progress bash Copy Edit 

git add --all   
Git commit -m "Inserted fresh illustration"

Example Output:

[media-enhancement abc1234] Inserted fresh illustration   
   2 files altered, 1 addition(+)    
   New file mode 100644 new_graphic.jpg

Both main and media-enhancement modified revised.html.
