To merge changes in GitHub, you can follow these steps:
First, make sure you are on the branch that you want to merge the changes into. You can switch to that branch by using the git checkout command followed by the branch name.
Next, you need to pull the changes from the branch you want to merge into your current branch. You can do this using the git pull command. This ensures that you have the most up-to-date version of the branch you want to merge into.
Now, you can merge the changes from the other branch into your current branch using the git merge command followed by the branch name. For example, if you want to merge changes from a branch called feature-branch into your current branch, you would run the command git merge feature-branch.
If there are any conflicts during the merge process, you will need to resolve them manually. Git will show you the conflicts in your code and you can edit the files to resolve the conflicts.
Once the conflicts have been resolved, you need to stage and commit the changes. You can do this using the git add and git commit commands.
Finally, you need to push the changes to the remote repository. You can do this using the git push command.
Here's an example of the commands you would use to merge changes from a branch called feature-branch into your current branch:
git checkout main
git pull
git merge feature-branch
# Resolve any conflicts if necessary
git add .
git commit -m "Merged changes from feature-branch"
git push
Note: It's always a good practice to review the changes before merging them to ensure that everything is working as expected. You can do this by reviewing the pull request (PR) in GitHub and using the review tools to provide feedback and comments. Once the changes have been reviewed and approved, you can merge the PR using the merge button in the GitHub UI.
