git-merge: Merge a branch into your current branch.
$ git merge ${branch_name}
try on your machine

The command "git merge ${branch_name}" is used in Git version control system to combine changes from one branch to another.

  • "git merge" is the command used to perform the merge operation.
  • "${branch_name}" represents the name of the branch from which you want to merge changes.

When you execute this command, Git will take the changes from the specified branch (${branch_name}) and integrate them into the current branch. It will analyze the differences between the two branches and combine them intelligently to create a new snapshot, incorporating changes from both branches.

By merging branches, you can consolidate changes made in a separate branch into the main branch or vice versa, keeping the changes from different branches in sync and avoiding code conflicts.
