Merging Two Branches After Long Time

You know that feeling when you've been working on your feature branch for weeks while your colleague has been pushing commits to main like there's no tomorrow? Now it's time to merge and you're about to witness the most explosive reaction since someone discovered you could drop Mentos into Coke. The Mentos-Coke experiment is the perfect metaphor here: individually, both branches are perfectly fine. But when they meet after diverging for so long? Prepare for an eruption of merge conflicts that'll spray all over your terminal. Every file you touch has been touched by someone else. Every function you refactored has been refactored differently. Every comment you deleted has been expanded into a novel. Pro tip: Always rebase frequently to avoid turning your codebase into a science fair disaster. Or just accept your fate and grab some popcorn while git throws 847 conflict markers at you.
