# Your, theirs, base, and merge files

The `p4 resolve` command uses the following terms during the merge process:

File revision | Description
--- | ---
yours | The revision of the file in your client workspace, containing changes you made.
theirs | The revision in the depot, edited by another user, that `yours` conflicts with. (Usually the head revision, but you can schedule a resolve with another revision using `p4 sync`.)
base | The file revision in the depot that yours and theirs were edited from (the closest common ancestor file).
merge | The file generated by P4 Server from theirs, yours, and base.
result | The final file resulting from the resolve process.
