What causes Git merge conflicts?

Same lines edited by multiple people. Git flags 'em; you pick winners.

How do I undo a bad Git commit?

Reset --soft HEAD~1 to keep changes. Revert for safety. Never --hard on shared repos.

Hell yes. Decentralized, faster, branches galore. SVN's a relic.

Merge conflict. Screen freezes. Heart sinks. You've followed the Git tutorial to the letter, yet here you are, lost in hell's own version history.
