While working on crucial network configuration scripts, a project manager receives an alert that a merge operation has failed because two contributors edited the same lines. To approach this conflict effectively, what should be the manager's initial action?
Analyze the conflicting changes and the context behind each contributor's updates.
Directly resolve the conflict by choosing the most recently updated version.
Request the team members to stop all further updates until the conflict is resolved.
Revert all changes to the last confirmed stable version of the script without further analysis.
The best initial action is to analyze the conflicting changes and understand the intent behind each contributor's edits. Reviewing the differences first provides the necessary context for deciding whether to merge, modify, or discard specific lines. Immediately choosing the newest version, freezing all work, or reverting to an earlier commit risks losing important updates or introducing new errors. Only after a thorough review can the manager determine a safe and accurate resolution strategy.
