Ask HN: How often do you have merge conflicts?

If you are notified in realtime, the merge conflict will be based on approximatively 1 line. It's easier to resolve it.

Suppose the "developer 1" working on a big feature during two weeks and a "developer 2" working on another big feature. If you detect the merge conflict at the end of the sprint, it can be difficult to resolve. Don't you think ?

Maybe the nature of our conflicts is different. Resolving things at the end is rarely that big of a hassle for us. I'd rather do it all at once after I'm done the work than interrupt my train of thought to fix it at the time.

Ok great. Thanks for your comments. Can I ask you how much developers (approximatively) work on your company ?

On my team, 6. On another team, 20ish.
