Development Tools Git Basics Merging Conflict Resolution

im stuck, how do we go about step 1. The video is a bit difficult to understand

can someone help me on how do we do conflict resolution among the 2 branches

conflicted_file.txt
This is a text file! It's a fun little text file - 
it never really did anything to hurt anyone. 

The only problem with our fun little text file 
is that it has conflict resolution issues.

<<<<<<< HEAD
It tries its best to resolve problems on its own.
=======
It pretty much can't ever resolve problems.
>>>>>>> pessimistic_branch

Whenever it runs into a problem, it asks other people for help.

<<<<<<< HEAD
Maybe you can help it resolve its issues?
=======
But it's a very needy file, so people often leave it alone.
