What you'll learn

Complex merges are where most Git knowledge breaks down: concurrent refactors collide, directory restructures conflict with hotfixes, and a failed rebase can leave a team paralyzed.

In this course, Mastering Merge Conflicts in Git, you'll gain the ability to diagnose, resolve, and recover from the most challenging merge scenarios with confidence.

First, you'll explore Git's three-way merge internals, index stages, and visual merge tooling to surgically resolve multi-file conflicts.

Next, you'll discover how Git rerere records and replays conflict resolutions to eliminate repetitive merge pain on long-lived branches.

Then, you'll learn how to apply targeted merge strategies to handle large-scale migrations without losing critical hotfixes.

Finally, you'll master the reflog and reset workflows to recover from failed merges, botched rebases, and accidental resets with zero data loss.

When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Git's conflict resolution and recovery internals needed to be the person your team calls when everything goes wrong.
