Context: Predicting software merge conflicts plays a chief role in many software engineering tasks. Prediction techniques can be used to identify and anticipate potential conflicts between source code snippets that may arise when merging changes made by ...

Merge conflicts are very common in collaborative software development. Such collaborative work is usually supported by the use of branches, which at some point can be merged. In the technical literature, several studies propose mechanisms to avoid ...

During the software development process, several developers commonly change artifacts in parallel. A merge process can combine parallel changes. In the case of changes that cannot be automatically combined, the developer responsible for the merge must ...

Most software development is done in teams. When more than one developer is modifying the source code, there is a change that their changes will conflict. When this happens, developers have to interrupt their workflow in order to resolve the merge ...
