Merging the branch in GitHub

Before merging the "fe-symbol" branch into the "development" branch, it's a good practice to ensure that your "fe-symbol" branch is up to date with the latest changes from the "development" branch and resolve any potential conflicts. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Switch to the "fe-symbol" branch:

git checkout fe-symbol
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Update your branch with the latest changes from the "development" branch. You can do this by pulling the changes from the "development" branch:

git pull origin development
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This ensures that your "fe-symbol" branch includes the most recent changes from the "development" branch.

Step 3: Resolve any conflicts that may arise during the merge. If there are conflicts between your branch and the "development" branch, you'll need to manually resolve them. Git will mark the conflicting areas in your files, and you'll need to edit the files to resolve the conflicts.

Step 4: Once you've resolved any conflicts and are satisfied with the changes, you can commit the resolved files:

git add .
git commit -m "Resolved conflicts with development branch"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 5: Finally, you can proceed with the merge into the "development" branch as explained in the previous response:

git checkout development
git merge fe-symbol
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This sequence of steps ensures that your "fe-symbol" branch is up to date with the latest changes and that any conflicts are resolved before merging it into the "development" branch.
