What you'll learn

  • Merge conflict resolution needs structured methods that separate text line conflicts from binary file selection decisions.

  • Git bisect replaces guesswork with an efficient binary search to pinpoint the exact commit causing issues.

  • Preventing conflicts through smart branching and team communication is more effective than fixing them later.

  • Analyzing commit history enables forensic tracing of pipeline issues and accurate identification of root causes.
