remerge

Come back together

To remerge is to merge again after having been separated.

In version control and software development, files or code branches that diverged are remerged to combine changes: We'll need to remerge after fixing the conflicts.

More broadly, anything that splits and comes back together remerges: The highway lanes remerge after the toll plaza.
