Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
git merge
Git merge. Merging combines changes from different branches into a single branch, integrating the work of both developers. git pull (A) fetches changes from a remote repository and merges them into the current branch, but the question specifically asks for the operation to integrate changes from two different versions (branches) locally, which is merge. git rebase (C) rewrites commit history by reapplying commits on top of another base tip, which is not a direct integration of two versions. git commit (D) saves local changes to the repository but does not integrate changes from another source.
