Merging branches on GitHub is already pretty awesome, and today it gets a little bit better with a redesigned merge button.
In addition to being easier to read, the new merge button includes helpful instructions for checking out a branch and resolving any conflicts using Git on the command line.

Head over to your latest pull request and get merging to check it out.
