DevOps & Cloud 路 Intern to senior
Every engineering role uses Git, so almost every interview loop includes a few questions about it. Interviewers want to know you can work on a shared branch without losing work, explain what a command does to history, and recover when something goes wrong.

Clear filtersGit is a distributed version control system that tracks changes to files on your machine; GitHub is a hosting service for Git repositories that adds collaboration features such as pull requests, code review and CI.
git fetch downloads new commits from the remote without changing your working branch; git pull runs a fetch and then merges (or rebases) those commits into your current branch.
Both integrate changes from one branch into another: merge keeps both histories and joins them with a merge commit, while rebase rewrites your commits so they appear on top of the target branch, giving a linear history.
Open the conflicted files, decide what the final code should be between the conflict markers, remove the markers, run the tests, then stage the files and continue the merge or rebase.
