Resolving Git stash conflicts without committing
This article outlines the steps you should follow to resolve Git stash conflicts without reverting or creating commits. For a simpler context, we will simulate a situation where the git stash pop command results in a conflict and try to resolve the conflict without adding the files to be committed.
Resolving Git stash conflicts without committing
On VSCode, we’ll open our README.md file, save it, add a line to the end, and then stash the changes.
$ git stash
Saved working directory and index state WIP on Dev2.1: 8b5cc6c Zesr
Next, we will add another line to the end of the README.md file, save, and commit the changes.
Now we can run the git stash pop command.
$ git stash pop
To resolve this issue without adding a commit file, follow these steps.
The first step is to resolve the merge conflicts. Git has a default mergetool , but we prefer to use Meld.
If you want to use Meld, make sure to configure it as the default merge and diff tool.
We will run the following command to start Meld and resolve the conflicts manually.
$ git mergetool
With the merge conflicts dealt with, let's quickly check the status of our working tree.
$ git status
As shown in the above output, Git has staged the files for commit. We need to run the recommended command to unstage the files.
$ git restore --staged README.md
Let's check our working tree.
$ git status
Remember that Git will not automatically delete the stash after a merge. You will have to delete it by running:
$ git stash drop
In summary, we have two ways to mark a Git conflict as resolved. We can use the git addor git restore --stagedcommand.
The latter will resolve the conflict and remove the file from the index.
