This is the definitive tutorial on how to resolve merge conflicts in Git. We'll cover why merge conflicts happen, and learn how to fix the two most common types of conflicts. This video covers resolving conflicts using command line Git (and a terminal text editor like VIM) as well as an IDE like VS Code. At the end of this video, I also share a cheatsheet you can use to solve merge conflicts.
