Here are a few ways to resolve merge conflicts:
Resolving merge conflicts in Git by stashing changes
One way to resolve the conflict is to stash the changes you made locally, and then restore the stash again once the merge conflict is gone. This can be achieved in the following way:
-
Hide Changes
git stash -
Fetch changes from the remote repository.
git fetchgit pull origin save-princessHere,
save-princessis the name of the branch that exists in the local and remote repositories. -
Pop up hidden changes
git stash pop
If anything goes wrong after merging, you can always revert your current changes before merging.
To abort the merge, you can use:
git merge --abort
The command above is similar to reset, it resets our commits to the current revision before merging.
git reset --hard
