The instructions introduce an unnecessary third colour (#ff00ea) which
makes the exercise more confusing.

All that is needed to produce the merge conflict is:

  • branch off master purple_links
  • add change to link colour on this branch
  • return to master and commit a change to the same line
  • try to run git merge purple_links

I worked through this exercise with a student today and this was what
we ended up doing.
