Hi Suresh,

If you want to merge source-branch into destination-branch locally, you can do the following:

git checkout destination-branch

If you want to keep the version of the files in the source branch, in case of conflicts, you can then use:

git merge --strategy-option theirs source-branch -m "merge commit message"

If you want to keep the version of the files in the destination branch, in case of conflicts, you can use the following instead:

git merge --strategy-option ours source-branch -m "merge commit message"

You need to replace destination-branch and source-branch in the commands with the respective names of your branches, and also replace merge commit message with your own commit message for the merge commit.

Kind regards,
Theodora
