Dear list,

although I have been using git for almost three years, I have used it
only for my writings (I cannot code).

This reduces the need for branches and the possibility of merge
conflicts. I experienced less than five, due to the fact of working in
different computers (and having forgotten to sync repos the right way).

My question is simple: what causes a merge conflict?

I mean, changes in different files are merged fine, since the most
updated version of each is merged.

I thought the same happened with different lines (the latter modified
line is kept in the merged file), but I can’t say for sure after
experiencing the merge conflicts.

Could you confirm whether lines are merged independently or whether
there is always a conflict when one tries to pull a modified file from
remote in a file that was also modified after latest push in local?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
