Conflict Resolution Without Rewriting History Blindly

Practice resolving messy conflicts in long-lived branches, using rerere safely, and knowing when to involve a second reviewer. Includes scenarios with generated CSV and lockfile clashes.

What arrives in your repo

  • Conflict triage decision tree
  • rerere sandbox with guided resets
  • Binary and lockfile exercises
  • Pairing scripts for sensitive merges
  • Post-merge verification checklist
  • Communication templates for freeze windows
  • Mentor-reviewed conflict write-up

Outcomes we ask you to evidence

  1. Resolve multi-file conflicts with a clear narrative
  2. Know when to abort and request design input
  3. Document resolutions for downstream teams

Participant questions

We cover basics; media pipelines need specialist tooling beyond scope.
