What is a merge conflict in Git?

Key points

  • Merge conflicts arise from concurrent edits to the same code lines.
  • Git's automatic merge fails when changes are overlapping.
  • Remote branch pushes and permission errors are unrelated to merge conflicts.
  • Multiple branches pointing to the same commit do not cause merge conflicts.
