Git Merge
Git Merge joins branch histories. Git may move a pointer forward or create a merge commit after conflicts are resolved.
Another example
A feature branch left main. Its author updates tests, resolves one conflict with the owner, and merges after CI passes.
Main parts
- 01Branch or change set
- 02Review and verification gate
- 03Released result
Use it when
Use it to join reviewed work while following repository rules for history and integration.
Do not use it when
Do not choose one whole conflict side blindly, merge failing work, or rewrite shared history without agreement.
Name used in code
git merge <branch> Before you ship
Before publishing, check the exact repository, branch, target, and diff. Keep unpublished work. Pass review and CI checks. Record conflict and data-loss risks, release order, traceability, recovery, and rollback.
Outcome: Use Git Merge to release or recover the change safely, with a clear record. User context: A feature branch left main. Its author updates tests, resolves one conflict with the owner, and merges after CI passes. Delivery concept or operation: Git Merge. Why it fits: Use it to join reviewed work while following repository rules for history and integration. Do not use it when: Do not choose one whole conflict side blindly, merge failing work, or rewrite shared history without agreement. Delivery requirements: Name the code repository and target. List preconditions, changes, review and CI checks, conflict and data-loss risks, release order, and the rollback or recovery command. Repository safeguards: Keep unpublished work and a clear history. Do not run destructive steps without an explicit backup. Check the exact code diff and remote target before publishing. Acceptance criteria: Review the intended diff and pass all required checks. Keep the target version traceable. Practice failure recovery and keep published history clear. Evidence and limits (evidence boundary): It is official for that source. Other platforms or teams may use the term in another way. Unknowns to confirm: Repository, branch, team activity, release environment, approval owner, protected checks, and rollback target.

Release checks: Before publishing, check the exact repository, branch, target, and diff. Keep unpublished work. Pass review and CI checks. Record conflict and data-loss risks, release order, traceability, recovery, and rollback. Before changing code, report the evidence you found, gaps, severity, and the smallest safe fix.
