dolt-merge: Incorporate changes from the named commits into the current branch.

dolt

$ dolt merge ${branch_name}

try on your machine

The command "dolt merge ${branch_name}" is used in Dolt, a version-controlled SQL database, to merge changes from a specified branch (represented by ${branch_name}) into the current branch.

When you run this command, Dolt will look for the differences between the current branch and the specified branch, and attempt to automatically merge the changes. The merge operation combines the changes made in both branches, including inserting, updating, or deleting rows in tables, and resolves any conflicts that may arise.

If there are conflicts, meaning both branches have made different changes to the same data, Dolt will pause the merge process and prompt you to resolve the conflicts manually. You can then review the conflicts and make appropriate changes to resolve them.

Once the merge is complete, the changes from the specified branch will be incorporated into the current branch, creating a new commit that represents the merged state. This commit will have both branches as its parent commits, indicating the merge operation.

Overall, the "dolt merge ${branch_name}" command allows you to combine the changes from another branch into the current branch, keeping your database up to date with the latest updates made in different branches.
