How does one solve "This branch has conflicts that must be resolved" in git while merging pull request?

[jaw6]

You'll need to update your branch with new commits from master, resolve those conflicts and push the updated/resolved branch to GitHub. Something like this:

git checkout master
git pull
git checkout <branch>
git merge master
[ ... resolve any conflicts ... ]
git add [files that were conflicted]
git commit
git push

i get this error

This repository is configured for Git LFS but 'git-lfs' was not found on your path. If you no longer wish to use Git LFS, remove this hook by deleting .git/hooks/pre-push.

If someone getting below error like me

fatal: cannot do a partial commit during a merge.

use -i or --include flag with the commit command

git commit -i -m "Your commit message"

[Georodent]

What do you do in the ----resolve conflicts----- part? Also, will this work with a "conflicting file" as well?

[tdk408]

On "git checkout ", should it be a new branch created for fixing the conflicts, or the original branch that reported the conflicts?

[ningcui-refundlabs]

perfect solution. Thanks.

@thanks. Worked like pure magic. Bookmarking it as a great resource when trying to resolve conflicts on git for future reference....

I got this after trying to merge with master: Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

thanks @jaw6!

[repl-mohit-kumar]

the conflict occurred because after ur change, someone else updated that file so Github could not determine which lines to keep and which to remove with ur change when we merged master, we pointed the local HEAD to the master code and with that Github was able to fix the merge conflict automatically.

[jimka2001]

I'm having trouble understand what to do here. I have received a PR which github there contains a conflict. I'd like to resolve the conflict. The message https://github.com/githubteacher/github-for-developers-sept-2015/issues/648#issuecomment-144488223 suggests that I checkout some branch and resolve conflict. BUT WHICH BRANCH? I do not see any branch which contains the conflicting commits.

What do I need to do get get a file containing the <<<<< ====== >>>>> conflict markers so I can fix them manually?

[Avedena]

Hi there,

but how I get the conflicts shown? I do the steps under "Use command line to resolve conflicts before continuing. " but nothing happens in the repro.

https://github.com/Avedena/StyleGAN-Human/pull/1 git checkout -b stylegan-human-main main git pull https://github.com/stylegan-human/StyleGAN-Human.git main git checkout main git merge --no-ff stylegan-human-main git push origin main

Thanks
