These heavy equipment operator training schools are designed to give someone who knows little or nothing about the trade the opportunity to earn while they learn. The average length of an operating engineer apprenticeship is three to four years.
Conceptually, a merge branches operation has four steps: 1  Developer selects changes in the origin. 2  Source control tool applies some changes automatically to the target. 3  Developer reviews the results and resolves any conflicts.  Commit.
The target is the folder to which we want those changes to be applied. Note that my definition of merge branches is a one-way operation. We apply changes from the origin to the target. In my example above, $/branch is the origin and $/trunk is the target.
