# Silently merge child stream into mainline

A simple merge occurs when:

- A branched child stream is merged from a parent mainline stream.

- Changes have only been made to a child stream.

- A mainline does not contain any conflicts.

Use the non-interactive merge option if you are not expecting conflicts and do not need to review the merged changes.

To run a non-interactive merge:

1. Use the Get operation to populate an empty work area with the content of the mainline stream.

   Tip: You can use an empty folder as the work area for the merge. The Merge wizard automatically populates the work area with the target stream content before merging the changes in the source stream.

2. Open the Merge wizard and select Merge streams or their folders. Click Next.

3. In the Merge changes from this stream field, click Select to find and select the child stream. This is the source of the merge.

4. Select other merge options, as required, and click Merge.

5. (Optional) After the merge into the mainline work area has completed successfully, click Deliver to commit the changes to the repository.

Tip: It is good practice to build and test before delivering merged changes, especially after a complex merge when conflicts had to be resolved.
