QUESTION
When a git merge conflict is resloved by keeping the current branch version, no files are listed when running git status
, because no files were changed.
Of course, if however the other branch version is selected to resolve the conflict, changes are listed.
Is there a way to see the files that took part in the merge conflict, after it was resolved (and before it's committed), regardless of changes?
Demonstration
The following is a pretty much full reproduction to get to what I'm talking about:
Say we have:
- A
master
branch, with a file namedt.txt
. - A
dev
branch that was branched out ofmaster
(sodev
also hast.txt
).
Now, let's create a conflict:

Answered 2021-Oct-27 at 20:16So, going back to my question, I'd like to somehow list t.txt in any case it was part of a resolved merge conflict [even before committing the result the first time]. Can it be done?
Git doesn't have a redoable "undo" for merge conflict resolutions, but fortunately if you're happy with your engineer's hat on it's easy to see what was there before without hurting anything:
QUESTION
I have two files committed in a git repository, an original
file and a derived
file.
derived
is based on original
but has some modifications (i.e., diff original derived
produces some small output).
Whenever I modify the original
file, I also want to apply the same changes to derived
semi-automatically via a script. There is a useful git command for that called git merge-file
that allows me to do exactly that.
I my case I want to apply the changes of original
in the index (i.e., original
is modified but not committed yet) to the derived
file so I do something like this:
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-04 at 21:13As bk2204 said in a comment, this is the wrong way to go about things. But let's answer the title question. If you do want to create a conflicted index entry, git update-index
is indeed the right (and only) tool for this:
- An index entry is, by definition, conflicted / unmerged if and only if it has a nonzero stage number.
- Only
git update-index
offers the ability to insert an index entry with a nonzero stage number.
But
git update-index
does not support setting these 'stage values' ...
This claim is wrong. However, to set a nonzero staging number is nontrivial. Reading the git update-index
documentation closely, we find just one way to do this:
USING --INDEX-INFO
--index-info
Read index information from stdin.
--index-info
is a more powerful mechanism that lets you feed multiple entry definitions from the standard input, and designed specifically for scripts. It can take inputs of three formats:
mode SP type SP sha1 TAB path
This format is to stuff
git ls-tree
output into the index.mode SP sha1 SP stage TAB path
This format is to put higher order stages into the index file and matches
git ls-files --stage
output.[format 3 snipped; boldface above is mine]
To place a higher stage entry to the index, the path should first be removed by feeding a mode=0 entry for the path, and then feeding necessary input lines in the third format.
Note further that because you have to place a hash ID into the index, you must first make sure that the data you want exist as a blob object. To get that, use git hash-object -w -t blob
(though you can leave out the -t blob
since that's the default).
So what I want to do is the following, in case
git merge-file
fails:
- Add the file original.base as 1 derived (base)
Since original.base
already has a hash ID (e.g., 4b48deed3a433909bfd6b6ab3d4b91348b6af464
), you can just use that. Let's say that's in $hash1
at this point.
- the file original as 2 derived ('our' modification)
This also has an existing hash ID, let's say $hash2
.
- and the original derived file as 3 derived ('their' modification) into the index
For this, you'll have to derive the file again (I think—I may have mis-read something in the question) and run git hash-object
:
QUESTION
For educational (Q.A.) purposes, I'm creating a series of git coding exercises that force students to create a merge conflicts in different ways and practice solving them.
I'm wondering if there are other ways common, or even uncommon ways such as working stash, locked files, etc.

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-22 at 19:45One way to automate this is with bash:
QUESTION
echo "a" > file1.txt
git add file1.txt
git commit -m "add file1"
echo "b" > file1.txt
git stash
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-12 at 22:49A stash stores both the state of the index and the state of the working tree, because those are both things you might have in an incoherent or unfinished state. Making a stash puts both the index and the work area into commits and rolls both back to the head commit state; the index commit then has the current head as parent, and the work tree commit has the index commit and the current head as parents, making the stash’s content a merge commit. You can actually see this structure by doing a git log on your stash entry (your identifier numbers will be different of course):
QUESTION
I commited a new feature locally, pulled from remote and got merge conflicts. After resolving them, my feature stopped working (seems like I made an error).
My idea was to go back to my commit and somehow repeat the merge. I checked out my commit, made a new branch, checked out master and tried to merge the new branch into master. This didn't work because "Everything is up to date".
How do I best handle this if I don't want to fix the error by looking through the code by hand?
/edit: I accepted the correct answer to the question but it turns out that my problem has a different origin than assumed above. I asked a follow-up question here.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-21 at 08:27If you do the checkout of your commit after the first merge to master, you will get an "Everything is up to date" when merging from master

QUESTION
I have 2 workflow file. One is test.xml and other is merge.xml
The test.xml run php unit test and if the test successful it will create a pull request to staging branch (the test.xml run in feature branch).
The strange is, if the pull request have conflict, the merge.xml workflow will not triggered. But when the pull request don't have any conflict, it will run and merge the pull request. Did my xmls are misconfiguration?
Here is the xmls.
Test.xml
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-10 at 14:22Unfortunately, the action that should be triggered by pull_request
is not going to run if the pull request has merge conflicts. It's a limitation of GitHub Actions as described here: https://github.community/t/run-actions-on-pull-requests-with-merge-conflicts/17104/2
QUESTION
I am working in my local branch in PHP Storm. After the task is done, I commit my branch and push to git.
On Github page I create a Pull request DEV <- my branch. Dev is the base branch, to which I will merge my branch.
This is ok till now. But in case there are conflicts in some files - according to this article https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/resolving-a-merge-conflict-on-github
In my case the same file was updated in other branch and merged to DEV before. Now in my branch is the same file with other changes.
When I resolve the conflict (can be even one line), I Mark it as resolved and the commit merge.
And now it happens, that the whole DEV base branch is merged to my own branch, and this is not good.
Because I am merging my branch to DEV, not vice versa. How is it possible to avoid this?
I tried to recreate the same branch, but the once the dev was merged here, it is always there. It is nonsense that this happens on each conflict - as the 8. point of above mentioned web says:
Once you've resolved all your merge conflicts, click Commit merge. This merges the entire base branch into your head branch.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-05 at 20:33Firstly, it is good practice to stay up to date with DEV branch in the feature branches since you will have to merge the changes anyway at some point. I have never been in the situation where it is bad to be up to date with DEV branch, but I can imagine some scenarios.
One workaround for the above is to continue with the merging on the web and allow the remote DEV branch be merged into your remote feature branch. Your local feature branch, however, is still at the place before DEV was merged.
At this point you can force push the local changes to the remote branch, thereby resetting the remote feature branch to where you want it to be.
QUESTION
I modified different lines in different branches, but those changes occur git merge
conflict.
I read the post, but I think the changes occur in totally different lines.
Here are my test codes.
branch-base ...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-28 at 00:17There has to be at least a single line of separation that remains the same so that they can be treated separately and not produce a conflict. Given that they are not separated by a line that stays the same on all 3 revisions (the two tips and the common ancestor) then they are treated as a single block. One branch modifies that block one way, the other in another way... so, conflict.
QUESTION
I am currently learning github and git which seems so much difficult to me. Right now I have read about Merge Conflicts and I would really like to see it working. But I don't know how to create it.
I have a repo published here.It is synced with my local repo. It has a file README.md which has the content This is My Coursera React Project Vipul Tyagi
.
What I am looking for is When I change README.md and pull this repo on my local machine, I should see the four options in README file(Accept incoming change, Accept current change, Accept Both changes, Compare Changes). I checked out this resource, but it doesn't have a pull request, which I want.
Please tell me the way to achieve this thing.
Thank You.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-04 at 05:35what I am really looking for is that I should see the options "Accept Current Changes" and "Accept Incoming Changes" when I pull remote repo to my local machine.
A while ago I was working on a project whose code was continuouslyy being pushed to github and each time I used to pull the code from remote, I would get a merge conflict in some files.
Why did I see those two options in the project I mentioned?
Because you had committed local modification that were not pushed.
And then you pulled modifications from the remote for the same file. That triggered a conflict.
But for your own repository, where you are the only one working on it, and pushing to it, a pull is likely to not trigger any conflict, which will explain the lack of "Accept Current Changes" and "Accept Incoming Changes".

I'm merging branches. Some commits on the from
branch will cause merge conflicts, and others won't. I'd like to know which will cause conflicts*, so I can decide what point to merge to. For example, something like:
ANSWER
Answered 2020-May-21 at 01:02Git doesn't let you perform a merge without having a working tree, so if you want to merge two branches, you need to check one of them out and merge the other. There isn't a tool to check just for merge conflicts, and with the state of Git now, it would be a little tricky to add that functionality. If you want to use Git, you can do this:

Install merge-conflict
You can use merge-conflict like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
