Git orchestration answer

How Do AI Coding Agents Avoid Git Conflicts?

Direct answer

AI coding agents avoid Git conflicts by working from exact baselines in isolated branches or worktrees, owning non-overlapping slices, and respecting dependency order. A central authority validates current ownership and integrates reviewed commits. When genuine overlap remains, the conflict becomes explicit remediation work rather than an agent silently overwriting another change.

01

Prevent avoidable overlap

Architecture-aware planning allocates files and contracts deliberately. Work that changes a shared interface should be sequenced before dependent implementations.

Fenced ownership also stops two workers from believing they own the same current slice.

02

Bind review to the candidate

A branch name is movable. Nexus uses exact SHAs so review evidence cannot float onto later code after a rebase or additional commit.

03

Treat real conflicts as engineering state

Some parallel changes legitimately touch the same behaviour. The integration authority records that conflict and creates a resolution or remediation step with both contexts available.

This preserves one canonical history without granting agents unrestricted push access.
