After enabling git rerere and resolving a conflict manually once, what will git status display when the same conflict occurs again during a merge?
ANo conflict markers; the conflict is automatically resolved
BConflict markers remain; manual resolution is required again
CThe merge is aborted automatically
DThe conflicted files are deleted
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Recognize rerere's effect

    Once rerere records a resolution, it applies it automatically on repeated conflicts.
  2. Step 2: Check git status output

    Since the conflict is resolved automatically, git status will still show conflicted files until the merge is completed.
  3. Final Answer:

    Conflict markers remain; manual resolution is required again -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    git status shows conflicts until merge is finalized [OK]
Quick Trick: git status shows conflicts until merge is finalized [OK]
