git-merge-conflict

I have my feature branch which has exceeded around 30 or more commits. Meanwhile in development branch few other features have been pushed from other developers. Therefore, Everytime a new feature is published on development, I am asked to: Rebase development branch onto my feature branch Resolve conflicts if any Continue developing in your feature branch The problem The second step is the chicken's neck here. On rebasing it gives me conflicts for every commit of that branch. This is really iterative and redundant. Note, I can't always rebase the development branch immediately since my own

I've decided to retrospectively commit a history, that was never in Git, from an other old version control system. So I've created an orphan branch "newroot", and imported commits from the other version control system to it. Following question Insert a commit before the root commit in Git? The "newroot" branch ended up with files exactly matching the root commit of the "master" branch. Now I want to rebase the "master" branch onto the "newroot" orphan branch, like: git rebase --onto newroot --root master The problem is that I get prompted to resolve all merge conflicts. There are hundreds of

After pushing I've been seeing this message at remote repository: 1 commit behind master. This merge has conflicts that must be resolved before it can be committed. To manually merge these changes into TA20footerLast run the following commands: > git checkout 7c891f50c557 # Note : This will create a detached head! > git merge remotes/origin/master I know this is a late answer but it could help others. Before you begin, if you are uncomfortable with a command line, you can do all the following steps using SourceTree , GitExtension , GitHub Desktop or your favorite tool. Just follow the steps:

I want to re-create a merge conflict so I can resolve it correctly the second time round. Example: Branch 'A' checked out. Branch 'B' is merged In. Conflicts resolved from merge (creates merge commit). Push to remote. Other people merge into Branch 'A' and push to remote. Oh dear I have realised my conflict resolution was wrong, I went with theirs instead of mine, whatever. Now what? I essentially want to re-do the conflict resolution part . I don't have the option of re-setting my HEAD as the branch has already been pushed to the remote; and has the possibility of other people having

I'm trying to script rebasing and my script will take different paths depending on if the rebase results in any conflicts. Is there a way to determine if a rebase would result in conflicts before executing the rebase? At the time of writing (Git v2.6.1 v2.10.0), the git rebase command offers no --dry-run option. There is no way of knowing, before actually attempting a rebase, whether or not you're going to run into conflicts. However, if you run git rebase and hit a conflict, the process will stop and exit with a nonzero status. What you could do is check the exit status of the rebase

Is there a way to avoid merge conflicts in version tag in pom.xml when merging master into a branch? I have quite a few pom files, 80, and all of them have same version which is different from one in master. It's laborious and time-consuming to execute git mergetool for 80 pom files just for a version tag. You probably have a few options. None of which are perfect :-/ 1) you can use 'git merge -s ours', but you should only do that when you know you don't need the rest of the changes too. 2) You can also use git rerere, which helps resolve conflicts by memorizing what you did last time. You can
