merge-conflict-resolution

I'm using git to track changes to my LaTeX documents. I tend to keep feedback from co-authors in a separate branch and merge it in later. So far things seem to magically merge properly, but I would like to know when exactly a merge conflict occurs, so that I can obtain some real trust in the merging process (I would not like text to come out funky of course). There are a number of questions on StackOverflow that seem to ask the same thing, but none of the answers get very specific. For example this answer that specifies that a conflict occurs if changes were made to the same region, but that

i forked a project from github, and the origin point to my own github repo, remote point to its original repo, since i want to get update from remote, i use git pull remote branch_name, then my local repo is in conflict mode, now i want to cancel the effect of git pull, so i use git stash, but was surprised to find i failed to do this? what's wrong? the detailed info is as follows: [mirror@home weechat]$ git status # On branch master # Unmerged paths: # (use "git add/rm <file>..." as appropriate to mark resolution) # # both modified: CMakeLists.txt # both modified: ChangeLog # both modified:

I have this in my files after some trouble with VS2012 git-plugin: using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting; <<<<<<< HEAD using NHibernate; ======= >>>>>>> dd2c3d7dfe81074e7c5a73f8e4ca2584481a74f1 namespace Controll.Hosting.Tests { [TestClass] public class TestBase { <<<<<<< HEAD protected ISessionFactory SessionFactory; [TestInitialize] public void InitializeTestBase() { SessionFactory = NHibernateHelper.GetSessionFactoryForMockedData(); ======= [ClassInitialize] public void InitializeTest() { Console.WriteLine("Settings NHibernateHelper.IsInTesting -> True"); NHibernateHelper

I need to present to the team what changes I've made during conflict resolution of a merge. I know this is kind of hard, but I certainly believe it is possible somehow. I've tried already git show -m and git show -c . Look at the hash (or tag) of the merge commit (the commit that has multiple parents) and do: git diff hash hash^1 hash^2 It will output a 3 way-diff of the changes. hash^ (or hash^1 ) references the first parent commit of hash hash^2 references the second parent commit of hash If you use the standard gitk tool, and click on a merge commit, the lower left pane shows the conflict

I have a pull request for which GitHub tells me "This branch has conflicts that must be resolved." I tried: ~/src/networkx: git rebase origin/master Current branch topo is up to date. ~/src/networkx: git merge origin/master Already up-to-date. Actually... you don't have anymore to pull and rebase locally. You can resolve (simple) merge conflicts right form GitHub, since Dec. 2016. See " Resolve simple merge conflicts on GitHub " You can now resolve simple merge conflicts on GitHub right from your pull requests, saving you a trip to the command line and helping your team merge pull requests

I keep running into the following error with my Gemfile.lock whenever I want to do a git pull or checkout a new branch. error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: Gemfile.lock Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. Aborting The problem is that I can't figure out how to fix it. Stashing the file doesn't work -- the local changes just stay there for some reason. I've also tried running git checkout -- Gemfile.lock to discard the changes, but that doesn't work either -- the local changes just stay there. I've also tried creating a new

I'm working with Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 and git (hosted on Visual Studio Online). I have 2 local commits and 2 commits in remote branch. There are NO local changes to commit: When I try to do Pull (or Fetch) in Visual Studio, I get error: An error occurred. Detailed message: 1 conflict prevents checkout Yes, there is a conflict, I should do merge. And according to this page I should be offered a link to resolve conflict. But I don't see that in VS. I can do merge outside of VS, but that's not the point. At the same time, my workmate running the same set up can do the merge with no issues.

When dealing with merge conflicts it is common that the >>>>>> and ====== inserted by DCVS are syntactically incorrect for the file I'm in and show up as highlighted in red. When dealing with merge conflicts it would be useful to have commands to jump to these error. When I type :cnext I just get the message "No Errors". These are Mercurial merge conflicts so I can't use Fugitive, but I generally prefer editing merge conflicts by hand anyway. Is there a way to jump to the next syntax error in the file? I think these errors are dictated by the syntax highlighting file. Nguyen You can use :lopen
