I have create a dialog
branch and when I try to merge it to master
branch. There are 2 conflicts. I don\'t know how to resolve CONFLICT (del
The conflict message:
CONFLICT (delete/modify): res/layout/dialog_item.xml deleted in dialog and modified in HEAD
means that res/layout/dialog_item.xml
was deleted in the 'dialog' branch you are merging, but was modified in HEAD (in the branch you are merging to).
So you have to decide whether
git rm res/layout/dialog_item.xml
"or
git add res/layout/dialog_item.xml
"Then you finalize merge with "git commit
".
Note that git will warn you that you are creating a merge commit, in the (rare) case where it is something you don't want. Probably remains from the days where said case was less rare.
I normally just run git mergetool
and it will prompt me if I want to keep the modified file or keep it deleted. This is the quickest way IMHO since it's one command instead of several per file.
If you have a bunch of deleted files in a specific subdirectory and you want all of them to be resolved by deleting the files, you can do this:
yes d | git mergetool -- the/subdirectory
The d
is provided to choose deleting each file. You can also use m
to keep the modified file. Taken from the prompt you see when you run mergetool
:
Use (m)odified or (d)eleted file, or (a)bort?
