Interviewers care how you branch, merge, and resolve conflicts without breaking delivery.

In this short session, you’ll tackle rapid-fire questions on branching strategies, merge vs rebase, and conflict handling. Answers are revealed immediately, with brief tips to reinforce patterns you can apply on the job.

Keep work isolated on feature branches; protect main. Rebase your branch onto main before opening a PR to minimize conflicts and flaky CI.
Use merge vs rebase intentionally: rebase for local cleanup and linear history; merge to preserve public history. Don’t rebase branches others may have pulled.
Resolve conflicts methodically: inspect markers, decide per hunk, run tests, stage resolved files, then continue. For tricky cases, compare both sides or redo the smallest change set.
Choose merge styles deliberately: fast-forward keeps history linear; --no-ff preserves a feature boundary; squash merge condenses noisy commits—write a clear, searchable message.
Stabilize releases with release/hotfix branches and tags. Cherry-pick only when necessary and always reference the original commit/issue for traceability.
