Git - Cherry-Pick and Advanced Merging

After running these commands:

git checkout master
git merge featureX featureY featureZ

What is the expected outcome if no conflicts exist?

AA single merge commit combining all three branches into master

BThree separate merge commits, one per branch

CA rebase of featureX, featureY, and featureZ onto master

DAn error indicating multiple branches cannot be merged

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand octopus merge behavior
When merging multiple branches without conflicts, Git creates one merge commit with multiple parents.
Step 2: Evaluate options
A single merge commit combining all three branches into master correctly describes this. Three separate merge commits, one per branch is incorrect because Git does not create separate commits per branch in an octopus merge.
Final Answer:
A single merge commit combining all three branches into master -> Option A
Quick Check:
Octopus merge creates one multi-parent commit [OK]

Quick Trick: Octopus merge = one commit with multiple parents [OK]
