sync-main

To merge the latest main branch into your current feature branch, you run a sync workflow that fetches the default branch and merges it into your working branch. It applies git merge --no-edit to keep your feature branch up to date.

When syncing a feature branch with main, uncommitted changes are safely stashed before the merge begins. The workflow handles stash management automatically, applying your stashed changes back after the default branch merge completes.

No, this git merge workflow does not automatically resolve merge conflicts. When conflicts occur during the default branch merge, the process stops and reports them, requiring you to manually resolve the conflicts before continuing.

Yes, you can push your feature branch to remote after merging the default branch. The sync workflow supports post-merge processing to push the updated changes to the remote repository, ensuring your branch reflects the latest state.

The best way to keep a feature branch synced with the default branch in collaborative projects is to use a dedicated merge workflow. It fetches the latest default branch, merges it into your current branch, and handles stashing to keep your local changes safe.
