What is the purpose of the conflicts phase in Yeoman's workflow?

• A. To prompt for overwrites and resolve conflicts
• B. To install dependencies
• C. To copy templates
• D. To validate user input

Answer: (A)

Conflicts are about handling existing files that the generator would overwrite. If a destination file already exists, this phase checks those files and asks you what to do—overwrite, skip, or sometimes merge changes—so you don’t unexpectedly ruin previous work. It’s the gate that ensures you have control over what ends up in your project before the generator moves on to installing dependencies or finishing up. The other steps happen in other parts of the workflow: installing dependencies happens later, templates are copied during writing, and validating user input happens while prompting.
