git merge resolve conflicts by always choosing merged branch
Snippet
Posted by kitt at 09:23 on 17 July 2015
There are times when a branch has diverged so far from master or itself that doing a fetch-merge is just impossible without conflicts. Those with changing binary files or gigantic files? The worst.
$ git reset --hard HEAD HEAD is now at 82a18be this is my last change, no really $ git pull origin my_branch From github.com:kitt/this-is-a-fake-repo * branch my_branch -> FETCH_HEAD Auto-merging some-project/project.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in some-project/project.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj Auto-merging some-project.xcworkspace/contents.xcworkspacedata Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
Solution, just take what the branch has, don't try to merge in changes, in case of conflict.
git merge -s recursive -X theirs branch-name
