Pull request conflict solution

If you edit the same file in the default branch (master) and the new branch simultaneously, the conflict message is displayed in the process of pull request creation.

To merge the branch, resolve the conflict using Git client from the repository replicated into a local PC.

• For more information on Git client usage and repository replication, see Using Git client.
• For more information on the conflict resolution, see Git official document.

If the target branch is "master," the source branch is "issue," and the conflict file is "file.txt.," to solve the conflict between branches using Git client, follow these steps:

1. Checkout to the target branch from the repository replicated into a local PC.

$ git checkout master

2. Merge the source branch.
   • If a conflict between branches is detected, the following message is displayed:

$ git merge issue
Auto-merging file.txt
 CONFLICT (add/add): Merge conflict in file.txt
 Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

3. Check the list of files the conflict occurred.

$ git status
 On branch master
 Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
 You have unmerged paths.
   (fix conflicts and run "git commit")

 Unmerged paths:
   (use "git add <file>..." to mark resolution)

         both added:      file.txt

4. Open the file the conflict occurred and check content.
   • The conflict content between both branches is displayed as follows:

 <<<<<<< HEAD
 master: the content of target branch
 =======
 issue: the content of source branch
 >>>>>>> issue

5. Edit the overlapped conflict and save the file.

   • Completely delete the marker (<<<<<< HEAD ~ >>>>>> issue) automatically entered before you save the file.

6. Upload (push) the edited file to the remote storage (SourceCommit repository).

$ git add file.txt

$ git commit

$ git push
