A Git problem where two edits changed the same area and Git needs a human decision.
Merge conflicts happen when Git cannot safely combine branches on its own. You resolve them by choosing the correct final code, then running tests because conflict resolution can accidentally drop behavior.
Plainly
Think of Merge Conflict as a tool from the builder toolbox. A Git problem where two edits changed the same area and Git needs a human decision.
In practice
Use it when you are installing, editing, testing, reviewing, or shipping code. In practice, define the owner, input, output, and failure mode before you rely on it.
