MergeMinder

MergeMinder is a web app + IDE extension that predicts and prevents merge conflicts by watching what your team is changing in real time. It builds a lightweight “change map” from git diffs and file-level intent signals (tests touched, APIs edited, schema changes) and flags likely collisions early—before anyone opens a PR. Instead of generic alerts, it suggests concrete actions: split a file, rebase now, coordinate ownership, or move changes behind a feature flag. It also generates a short, human-readable conflict brief for each PR: risky files, overlapping hunks, and the teammate to ping. This is not a magical auto-merge tool; it’s a practical early-warning system that reduces wasted hours and broken builds. The MVP focuses on GitHub/GitLab, a VS Code extension, and a simple dashboard for teams to triage “conflict hotspots.”
