Before you begin, if you are uncomfortable with a command line, you can do all the following steps using SourceTree, GitExtensions, GitHub Desktop, or your favorite tool. To solve the issue, you might have two scenarios: 1. Fix only remote repository branch which is behind commit Example: Both branches are on the remote side ahead … Read more
What you want is git rerere which records conflict resolutions for you. The best introduction to this I have seen is now part of the Git Book, Tools chapter. In practice when you perform a rebase, you will end up stopping as before but you only have to check the merge conflict remains resolved then … Read more
This means that you need to explicitly tell Git that you’ve resolved a conflict at each file or folder (that is path). 1. Look at the list of files with yet unresolved conflicts git status 2. Mark each file as resolved Once you have resolved conflicts in a file, add it to mark that conflicts … Read more
Fortunately, git has a mechanism for dealing with exactly this problem called git rerere – essentially, if you have git rerere enabled, then each time your resolve a conflict the fact that you resolved that exact conflict in a particular way is remembered. If the same conflict comes up again, the same resolution is automatically … Read more
At the time of writing this (Git v2.6.1 v2.10.0), the git rebase command offers no –dry-run option. There is no way of knowing, before actually attempting a rebase, whether or not you’re going to run into conflicts. However, if you run git rebase and hit a conflict, the process will stop and exit with a … Read more
Those are conflict markers. You’re still in the process of merging, but there were some parts that Git couldn’t merge automatically. You’ll need to hand-edit those parts to what you want them to be and then commit the results. For instance, in your particular case, you’d probably want to resolve it like this (note – … Read more
git checkout has the –ours option to check out the version of the file that you had locally (as opposed to –theirs, which is the version that you pulled in). You can pass . to git checkout to tell it to check out everything in the tree. Then you need to mark the conflicts as … Read more
All four buffers provide a different view of the same file. The top left buffer (LOCAL) is how the file looked in your target branch (what you are merging into). The top right buffer (REMOTE) is how the file looked in your source branch (where you are merging from). The middle buffer (BASE) is the … Read more
For each conflicted file you get, you can specify git checkout –ours — <paths> # or git checkout –theirs — <paths> From the git checkout docs git checkout [-f|–ours|–theirs|-m|–conflict=<style>] [<tree-ish>] [–] <paths>… –ours –theirs When checking out paths from the index, check out stage #2 (ours) or #3 (theirs) for unmerged paths. The index may … Read more
I found that adding “-i” to the commit command fixes this problem for me. The -i basically tells it to stage additional files before committing. That is: git commit -i myfile.php
