# Merge & Deploy

Merging ensures that any updates committed and reviewed in your Git repository become available inside your Nected workspace. While Nected manages commits, pushes, pulls, and conflict resolution at the workspace level, **all merge requests (PRs/MRs) are handled outside Nected by GitHub**.

## **How Merging Works?**

#### **1. Push from Nected**

A user commits and pushes changes from the Nected UI into the selected branch in Git.

#### **2. Open a Pull Request in GitHub**

To merge these changes into your production or base branch (typically `main` or `master`), your team must create a pull request directly in GitHub.

{% hint style="info" %}
Read the GitHub doc on how to set a PR and merge the changes to production: <https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests>
{% endhint %}

GitHub handles:

* Code review
* Branch protection rules
* Required checks (CI/CD)
* Merge approvals
* Conflict resolution

#### **3. Merge the Pull Request in GitHub**

Once the PR is approved and merged:

* GitHub updates the branch’s commit history
* The branch now represents the authoritative version of the logic

#### **4. Pull Changes into Nected**

Return to Nected and click **Pull** to import the latest merged state.

During the pull, Nected will:

* Check for incoming changes
* Sync integrations and credentials
* Update missing configs
* Apply the merged logic and versions
* Resolve workspace-level conflicts (Override, Archive, Merge & Pull)

Your workspace now reflects the new merged branch state.
