1. What is Jenkins?

According to definition in Jenkins docs: "Jenkins is a self-contained, open source automation server which can be used to automate all sorts of tasks related to building, testing, and delivering or deploying software."

We use it to create jobs or tasks which will help us to achieve CI and CD in our project.

The best thing : it is "FREE FREE FREE :)

Step 1: We create a New Project for the Pipeline by navigating to Jenkins and then click on New Item.

Step 2: Next, we select Pipeline from the given list of options.

Step 3: Then, we will scroll down to Advanced Project Options and paste the pipeline script code that we saw above into the code pane and hit the Save button.

Step 4: We need to set up a test build, which can be quickly done by the Jenkins UI by clicking Build Now.

Step 5: We can see a new build generating under the build history as we click on Build Now. The console logs output can be viewed by clicking on the Build.

What is GIT merge conflicts?

Merging and conflict are a common part of the Git experience. Conflicts in other version control tools like SVN can be costly and time-consuming. Git makes merging super easy. Most of the time, Git will figure out how to automatically integrate new changes.

Conflicts generally arise when two people have changed the same lines in a file, or if one developer deleted a file while another developer was modifying it. In these cases, Git cannot automatically determine what is correct. Conflicts only affect the developer conducting the merge, the rest of the team is unaware of the conflict. Git will mark the file as being conflicted and halt the merging process. It is then the developers' responsibility to resolve the conflict.

31. What is the use of Cherrypick in GIT?

It is used to apply one or more commit from one branch into your working branch or we can say Cherry picking is the act of picking a commit from a branch and applying it to another.

git cherry-pick <commit> <commit>

How to identify merge conflict
As we have experienced from the preceding example, Git will produce some descriptive output, letting us know that a CONFLICT has occured. We can gain further insight by running the git status command

The output from git status indicates that there are unmerged paths due to a conflict. The merge.text file now appears in a modified state. Let's examine the file and see whats modified.

Here we have used the cat command to put out the contents of the merge.txt file. We can see some strange new additions

<<<<<<< HEAD
=======
>>>>>>> new_branch_to_merge_later

Think of these new lines as "conflict dividers". The ======= line is the "center" of the conflict. All the content between the center and the <<<<<<< HEAD line is content that exists in the current branch main which the HEAD ref is pointing to. Alternatively all content between the center and >>>>>>> new_branch_to_merge_later is content that is present in our merging branch.
