Git Merge Conflicts Got You Down? Meet the Ort Strategy!

The Ort strategy is a specific method within Git used to automatically resolve merge conflicts. You can call it a combination of "pull" + "merge"

Why Ort?

🔹 Efficient: Handles complex merges with speed, especially those with numerous changes or renames.

🔹 Accurate: Resolves merges with pinpoint precision, addressing issues found in older strategies.

🔹 Default: Ort is the default for "pull" or "merge" commands in Git.

Key Features:------------------------------------------------------------------

⛷️Three-way merge: Considers the current branch head, the branch you're merging from, and their common ancestor.

⛷️Rename detection: Automatically handles renames during merges.

Limited scope: Optimized for resolving merges between two branches at a time.

⚔️ Conflicts can still arise if both branches modify the same lines (manual intervention needed).
