Exercise - Manage merge conflicts

Completed

This exercise checks your knowledge on settling overlapping commits across branches by using merge conflict resolution.

Getting started

When you select the Start the exercise on GitHub button at the bottom of the page, it takes you to a public GitHub template repository that prompts you to complete a series of small challenges. Before you can begin the exercise, complete the following tasks:

  • Select the Start course button or the Use this template feature within the template repository. This prompts you to create a new repository. We recommend creating a public repository, as private repositories use Actions minutes. After you make your own repository from the template, wait about 20 seconds and refresh.

  • Follow the instructions in the repository's README to understand how the exercise works, its learning objectives, and how to successfully complete the exercise.

When you finish the exercise in GitHub, return here for:

  • A quick knowledge check
  • A summary of what you've learned
  • To earn a badge for completing this module

Note

You do not need to modify any of the workflow files to complete this exercise. Altering the contents in this workflow can break the exercise's ability to validate your actions, provide feedback, or grade the results.
