How AI Can Help with Merge Conflicts
Merge conflicts occur when Git can't automatically reconcile changes made to the same parts of a file. Traditional resolution requires developers to manually compare and combine changes, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.
Let's be honest - merge conflicts are a pain. Every developer dreads seeing that "CONFLICT" message in their Git output, knowing they'll have to spend the next hour figuring out how to combine two seemingly incompatible changes. While AI isn't a magic solution, it might actually help with this tedious task.
The reality is that most merge conflicts are mundane - moved lines, renamed variables, or parallel feature additions. These don't require deep technical reasoning, just careful attention to detail. This is exactly where AI can be useful. It can quickly analyze both changes, spot common patterns, and suggest a reasonable combination - saving time on these routine conflicts.
