Definition

The Git operation that integrates changes from one branch into another, combining their histories.

عملية Git التي تدمج التغييرات من فرع إلى آخر، مجمعةً تواريخهما.

Why It Matters

Every sprint in 404Fault results in a merge to master. Understanding merge strategies helps you avoid merge conflicts and keep the git history readable.

كل سبرينت في 404Fault يُنتج دمجًا إلى master. فهم استراتيجيات الدمج يساعدك على تجنب تعارضات الدمج والحفاظ على تاريخ git مقروء.

Full Definition

Git merge combines the history of two branches. Fast-forward merge moves the branch pointer forward (no merge commit). Three-way merge creates a new merge commit joining the two lines of development. Squash merge flattens all branch commits into one before merging (keeps main history clean). GitHub PRs default to creating merge commits; Squash merge is common in projects wanting a clean linear history.
Git merge يجمع تاريخ فرعين. الدمج السريع يُحرّك مؤشر الفرع للأمام (لا commit دمج). الدمج الثلاثي ينشئ commit دمج جديد يجمع الخطين. الدمج المُسطَّح يُسطّح كل commits الفرع إلى واحد قبل الدمج.

Example Usage

“git checkout master && git merge feat/batch1-glossary --no-ff -m 'feat: merge batch1 knowledge expansion'”

“git checkout master && git merge feat/batch1-glossary --no-ff -m 'feat: merge batch1 knowledge expansion'”
