Merging takes all changes from one branch and combines them into another in a single commit, preserving historical timeline structure. Rebasing rewrites the commit history by moving the base of your branch to a new starting commit. You can resolve a merge conflict right in the web interface by clicking Resolve conflicts on your Pull Request, manually picking the code versions you want to keep, and deleting the conflict markers |
