Git method to resolve merge conflicts: 1. Edit the conflicting file, delete the special symbols in the file, and modify the code as needed; 2. Add the specified file to the staging area and add the specified branch Submit to the trunk and execute the commit. When using the "git commit" command, you cannot include a file name. If you add a file name, an error will be reported.

The operating environment of this article: Windows 10 system, Git version 2.30.0, Dell G3 computer.

How does git resolve merge conflicts

git conflicts

When multiple branch codes are merged into one branch, the same file is modified in both branches , will be generated no matter where the modification is made;

There is also a type that will be generated when the name of the same file is modified in two branches.

Cause

When merging branches, the two branches have two completely different sets of modifications in the same file. Git can't decide for

which one to use. The content of the new code must be decided manually.

Solution

Edit the conflicting file, delete the special symbols, and decide what content to use

Add to the temporary storage area

Execute submission (Note: You cannot use the git commit command with a file name at this time. Adding a file name will cause an error. After successful submission, merging will disappear)

Examples are as follows:

1. Conflict Generation

1.1, trunk branch code

There are two files in the trunk branch

Main.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
	char data[100] = "my branch name is master";
	int length = strlen(data);
	
	for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
	{
		printf("%c", data[i]);
	}
	
	printf("branch master\n");
	
	return 0;
}
Copy after login

README.md

this is master branch

At this time, Tom and Jack pulled the code of the main branch and made modifications.

1.2. Tom modified the code and submitted it for merge

Tom created branch A and made the following modifications to the file

main.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
	char data[100] = "my branch name is A";
	int length = strlen(data);
	
	for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
	{
		printf("%c", data[i]);
	}
	
	printf("branch AAA\n");
	
	return 0;
}
Copy after login

README.md

this is AAA branch
Copy after login

Submit the code and merge it into the trunk

2. Resolve conflicts

Continue The next step is how to resolve the conflict

Switch back to the B branch, and then pull the trunk branch code

lng@DESKTOP-9TD21KL MINGW64 ~/Desktop/jack/kaol (B)
$ git pull origin master
remote: Enumerating objects: 7, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (7/7), done.

If the pull fails, you can see a prompt message telling us which file caused the conflict.

Open the main.cpp file directly, you can see the following special characters, prompting us which line of code causes a conflict.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
<<<<<<< HEAD
        char data[100] = "my branch name is B";
=======
        char data[100] = "my branch name is A";
>>>>>>> ccb26269f42245dfcbedfbf2218419c5ab7f2787
        int length = strlen(data);

        for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
        {
                printf("%c", data[i]);
        }

<<<<<<< HEAD
        printf("branch BBB\n");
=======
        printf("branch AAA\n");
>>>>>>> ccb26269f42245dfcbedfbf2218419c5ab7f2787

        return 0;
}
Copy after login

Resolve conflicts manually directly in the file. Remove special characters from the file and modify the code as needed.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
        char data[100] = "my branch name is B and A";
        int length = strlen(data);

        for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
        {
                printf("%c", data[i]);
        }

        printf("branch BBB\n");
        printf("branch AAA\n");
        return 0;
}

Similarly, for README.md, manually resolve conflicts.

this is BBB and AAA branch
Copy after login

After resolving the conflict, submit it to branch B

lng@DESKTOP-9TD21KL MINGW64 ~/Desktop/jack/kaol (B|MERGING)
$ git add .

lng@DESKTOP-9TD21KL MINGW64 ~/Desktop/jack/kaol (B|MERGING)

Finally merge branch B into the trunk, and there will be no conflict

lng@DESKTOP-9TD21KL MINGW64 ~/Desktop/jack/kaol (B)
$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch and 'origin/master' have perged,
and have 1 and 1 different commits each, respectively.
  (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)

lng@DESKTOP-9TD21KL MINGW64 ~/Desktop/jack/kaol (master)
$ git merge B
Updating bdcbe03..f30e1ea
Fast-forward
 README.md | 2 +-
 main.cpp  | 4 ++--
 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

lng@DESKTOP-9TD21KL MINGW64 ~/Desktop/jack/kaol (master)
$ git push origin master
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
remote: Powered by GITEE.COM [GNK-6.2]

   ccb2626..f30e1ea  master -> master

lng@DESKTOP-9TD21KL MINGW64 ~/Desktop/jack/kaol (master)
$
Copy after login

At this point, the conflict is successfully resolved

You can look at the code of the trunk branch

main.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
	char data[100] = "my branch name is B and A";
	int length = strlen(data);
	
	for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
	{
		printf("%c", data[i]);
	}
	
	printf("branch BBB\n");
	printf("branch AAA\n");
	return 0;
}
Copy after login

README.md

this is BBB and AAA branch
Copy after login

OK
