Git commands that can help you resolve conflicts
Here are some common Git commands that can help you resolve conflicts:
1.
git
status: This command shows the current status of your repository,
including any files that have conflicts.
2.
git
diff: This command shows the differences between the conflicting
versions of a file. You can use this command to see the specific changes that
are causing the conflict.
3.
git
merge: This command allows you to merge the changes from one
branch into another. If there are conflicts, Git will prompt you to resolve
them before the merge can be completed.
4.
git
add: After resolving conflicts, you'll need to stage the changes
by using the git add
command. This command tells Git to include the changes in the next commit.
5.
git
commit: Finally, you'll need to commit the changes to complete
the merge.
Here's an example of how to resolve a conflict using these commands:
1. First, you'll need to navigate to the local repository on your computer where the conflict is occurring.
2.
Use git status to check the current status of the repository.
You should see a message indicating that there are conflicts.
3.
Use git diff to see the specific changes that are causing the
conflict.
4. Open the file with conflicts in a text editor and manually resolve the conflicts by deciding which changes to keep and which to discard.
5.
Once the conflicts are resolved, use git add to stage the
changes.
6.
Use git commit to commit the changes and complete the merge.
Note: It's important to always pull the changes and then try to merge it with your branch, this is the best practice to avoid conflicts.
