Merging

Merge Strategies

In this walkthrough you will find two different merge strategies: git merge and git rebase.

Both strategies have their own pros and cons.

The main benefit of git merge is that you keep the original history of the master branch in tact. However, conflicts are handled during the merge into the master branch.

The main benefit of the git rebase is that conflicts are handled in the feature branch and conflicts will not need to be managed when merging with the master branch. However, performing a rebase alters the history of the feature branch.

• get merge requires you to merge a branch directly into master.
• git rebase allows you to rebase your development branch on top of master.
