A three-way merge is performed after an automated difference analysis between a file "A" and a file "B" while also considering the origin, or common ancestor, of both files "C". It is a rough merging method, but widely applicable since it only requires one common ancestor to reconstruct the changes that are to be merged.
After the commit has been applied, the last step is to push the commit to the given software repository, in the case below named origin, to the branch main: [3] git push origin main. Also, a shortcut to add all the unstaged files and make a commit at the same time is: [4] git commit -a -m 'commit message'
Another approach is to split a branch off the trunk, implement changes in that branch and merge the changes back into the trunk when the branch has proven to be stable and working. Depending on development mode and commit policy the trunk may contain the most stable or the least stable or something-in-between version.
The packaging of commits, branches, and all the associated commit messages and version labels, improves communication between developers, both in the moment and over time. [21] Better communication, whether instant or deferred, can improve the code review process, the testing process, and other critical aspects of the software development process.
If the running time (number of comparisons) of merge sort for a list of length n is T(n), then the recurrence relation T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n follows from the definition of the algorithm (apply the algorithm to two lists of half the size of the original list, and add the n steps taken to merge the resulting two lists).

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, when an editor wishes for an article to be merged to another article but does not regard the article's title as a useful redirect, the editor sometimes suggests something like, "Merge and delete". The objection is then frequently made that such an action is not possible under the licensing requirements.
Development takes place in a public git source code repository, [16] on public mailing lists and in public chat channels on the GIMPNET IRC network. [17] New features are held in public separate source code branches and merged into the main (or development) branch when the GIMP team is sure they won't damage existing functions. [16]
A suggestion to either merge or delete is not in conflict with the need for attribution, or any other licensing requirements. If the consensus is ultimately to delete the article, no attribution needs to be maintained. If the consensus is ultimately to merge the article, then attribution is typically preserved under ordinary merging procedure.
