Git merge conflict resolution involves identifying conflicting files, manually editing the code between conflict markers to keep the correct lines, staging the resolved files, and completing the merge commit to integrate overlapping branch changes.

Choosing a Git branching strategy depends on team size and release cadence. You select from Git-Flow for structured releases, GitHub Flow for continuous deployment, or Trunk-Based Development for small teams to ensure efficient collaboration and clean version control.

Interactive rebase works by letting you stop after each commit in a range to edit, squash, reorder, or drop changes before applying them to the base branch. This Git mechanism produces a clean, logical commit history.

Yes, you can recover lost commits in Git using the reflog. The reflog tracks updates to branch tips, allowing you to find the hash of lost work and use a hard reset to restore your repository to that previous state.

You manage a monorepo in Git by using sparse checkout to only pull specific directories into your working tree, and subtree or submodule usage to incorporate separate repositories. These monorepo patterns reduce overhead for large codebases.

You should use cherry-picking to apply a specific commit from one branch to another without merging everything, and bisecting to perform a binary search through your commit history to find the exact change that introduced a bug.
