Avoid Costly Merge Conflicts: Regularly merging master into your working branch helps in resolving small conflicts incrementally, reducing the risk of accumulating merge conflicts.
Stay Aligned with the Latest Changes: Merging ensures your work includes the latest bug fixes, features, and improvements, reducing chances of duplicating work.
Easier Final Merge Back to master: Regularly resolving differences simplifies the final integration, making pull requests cleaner and more focused.
Reduce Build and Test Failures: Integrating master helps in identifying breaking changes early, ensuring code remains buildable and testable.
