How to resolve merge conflict. How do I abort the merge?

In this article you will see that how to resolve  merge conflict and how to abort the merge?

 

If you run into a merge conflict and you want to abort the merge, you can use the git merge --abort command. This command will stop the merge process and restore the repository to the state it was in before the merge.

 

Alternatively, you can use git reset --hard command, this command will discard any changes you made during the merge and it will reset your working tree to the state of the last commit.

 

It's worth noting that, both git merge --abort and git reset --hard will discard any changes you made during the merge, so be sure to save any important changes before running these commands.

 

It's also good practice to always do a git pull --rebase instead of git pull which will help you to avoid merge conflicts in the first place, and in case of conflict, you can easily resolve them with Git's interactive rebase feature.

 

It's also worth noting that, if you want to keep the changes and still want to abort the merge, you can use git stash command to save your changes in a new stash, then use git merge --abort and finally git stash apply to apply the changes again.

How to resolve to merge conflict ?

 

A merge conflict occurs when changes made to the same lines of code in different branches conflict with each other and cannot be automatically merged by Git. To resolve a merge conflict, you will need to manually edit the conflicting files and choose which changes to keep or discard. Here are the general steps to resolve a merge conflict:

 

Use the command git status to see which files are in conflict.

 

Open the conflicting files in a text editor and look for the conflict markers <<<<<&#8203;oaicite:{"index":0,"invalid_reason":"Malformed citation <<, ======, and >>>>>>>"}&#8203;. These markers indicate where the conflicting changes are.

 

Decide which changes you want to keep and which you want to discard. Delete the conflict markers and the changes you don't want to keep.

Once you have made the necessary changes, save the file.

 

Use the command git add to stage the file.

Use the command git commit to commit the resolved conflict.
