Tagastussüsteem

Tagastussüsteem is a term used in the context of software development and version control systems, particularly in the context of Git. It refers to the process of integrating changes from one branch into another. This is a fundamental operation in collaborative software development, allowing developers to merge their work with that of their colleagues.

In Git, the tagastussüsteem is typically performed using the "merge" command. When a developer wants to incorporate changes from one branch into another, they use the merge command to combine the histories of the branches. This process creates a new commit that has two parent commits, one from each branch being merged. This commit is known as a merge commit.

The tagastussüsteem can be a straightforward process when there are no conflicting changes between the branches. However, when conflicts arise, Git provides tools to help resolve them. Developers can manually edit the conflicting files to reconcile the differences, and then mark the conflicts as resolved. Once all conflicts are resolved, the merge can be completed.

In addition to the merge command, Git also provides the "rebase" command, which can be used as an alternative to the tagastussüsteem. Rebase rewrites the commit history by moving or combining a sequence of commits to a new base commit. This can result in a cleaner project history, but it should be used with caution, especially when working in a shared repository, as it can rewrite history and potentially cause issues for other developers.
