Save As or Save Parent As.
Merge Branches
Before you can merge branches, you must install command-line Git on your system path
and register binary files to prevent Git from inserting conflict markers. See “Install
Command-Line Git Client” on page 32-31.
TipAfter you fetch changes, you must merge. For more information, see “Fetch and
Merge” on page 32-46.
