With the fatal arrogance of a teenager that got their heart broken for the first time and thinks no one understands them or has ever felt what they feel, we saw their limitations, pitfalls and compromises, and attribuited them to incompetence or even malice. And promptly dedicated our efforts to reinvent the wheel, because we knew better. We added layer upon layer of complexity, and each time a new model, theory or framework failed us, rather than reevaluating and stepping back, we added a new one. A…

It works by comparing three versions of the code, which is the base, head, and the branch to be merged.

Ever since I've learned how to use Git and GitHub to work collaboratively with group members, I have always followed a procedure where I resolve any conflicts in my branch first before merging to main or making a PR.
