What is Merge Strategies?
Merge strategies are the different approaches Git offers for combining changes from one branch into another. Options include a standard merge that preserves full history, a squash merge that condenses all commits into one, and a rebase that replays commits on top of another branch. Choosing a strategy affects how clean or detailed the resulting commit history looks.
