Tanmay's response demonstrates a good understanding of using Git and GitHub for version control. He describes creating separate branches for features or tasks, which aligns with best practices for maintaining a stable main codebase. His approach to managing merge conflicts by reviewing changes and collaborating with team members shows a collaborative mindset. However, the response could be improved by mentioning specific tools or techniques used for conflict resolution, such as Git's diff and merge utilities, which were part of the benchmark response.
