+## Step 2: Resolve a merge conflict
+
+_Good start! Now let's look deeper at a merge conflict! :mag:_
+
+This can be intimidating, but have no fear, Git is smart when it comes to merging! Git only needs a human to decide how to [resolve the conflict](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/addressing-merge-conflicts/resolving-a-merge-conflict-using-the-command-line). Sometimes, the best way to resolve a merge conflict is to add content that's from both branches, or even something that isn't on either! This is why Git needs a human to look at the code and make the proper fixes.

+### :keyboard: Activity: Resolve a merge conflict
+
+1. Open the pull request that you just created, we created a conflict for you. Have no fear!
+1. At the bottom of the page, under "This branch has conflicts that must be resolved", click the **Resolve conflicts** button.
+1. Look for the highlighted sections that begins with `<<<<<<< my-resume` and ends with `>>>>>>> main`. These markers are added by Git to show you the content that is in conflict.
+1. Remove the changes made on the main branch by deleting all of the content below the `=======` and above `>>>>>>> main`.
+1. Next, remove the merge conflict markers by deleting the following lines:
+   ```
+   <<<<<<< my-resume
+   =======
+   >>>>>>> main
+   ```
+1. With the merge conflict markers removed, click **Mark as resolved**.
+1. Finally, click **Commit merge**.
+1. Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page (the one you're following instructions from). [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) will automatically update to the next step.
