When is a merge a fast-forward?
QuizMediumAsked in: Accenture, Capgemini, TCS
You are on main and run git merge feature. Git prints "Fast-forward" and creates no merge commit. Why?
- main had no new commits since feature branched off, so Git only moved main forward to feature's latest commit
- The two branches had a conflict, so Git skipped the merge commit
- Fast-forward means the merge was cancelled
- Git always fast-forwards; merge commits are never created
