Merging

After days of work, we decide that our lastname branch is stable enough to be merged into the master branch. To perform the merge, use Merge → Local Merge.

Because the two different commits made two different modifications to the same line, a conflict occurs.

This conflict can be resolved using any text editor. After resolving the conflict, stage the changes by clicking the file icon and then commit the merge by clicking the Commit button.
