Git - Cherry-Pick and Advanced Merging

Given the following commands executed in a Git repository:

git checkout main
git merge featureA featureB featureC

What will be the result if there are no conflicts between the branches?

AThree separate merge commits, one for each feature branch

BAn error because multiple branches cannot be merged at once

CA rebase of featureA, featureB, and featureC onto main

DA single merge commit combining featureA, featureB, and featureC into main

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the merge command with multiple branches
When merging multiple branches at once, Git performs an octopus merge, creating one merge commit combining all branches.
Step 2: Consider conflict status
Since there are no conflicts, the merge will succeed and produce a single merge commit.
Final Answer:
A single merge commit combining featureA, featureB, and featureC into main -> Option D
Quick Check:
No conflicts + multiple branches = one octopus merge commit [OK]

Quick Trick: No conflicts + multiple branches = one merge commit [OK]
