I don't get the same output that the instructor gets after trying to merge the conflicting file1 versions. I have Git for Windows so I have to use notepad rather than nano. I did not get any conflict markers at all in my conflicting text files.
Is there a way to get the conflict markers with notepad? If not, how would you know where the conflicts are in much larger projects with lots of text files if you use a Window machines barring installing a Linux shell and using Git for Linux?

- try using vim instead
- before merging, at its own branch, have u done the git commit ? that' might be the reason it didn't conflict. after the git commit each, also check out the log, making sure each branch has different end log.... THEN u try merging.. u should get a conflict

Remember to commit in both master and foo_feature
