When conflicts occur during a Git merge, I usually use the following methods:
- Viewing conflicting files and analyzing changes with
git diff. - Manually editing conflict sections in files where Git marks conflict blocks.
- Using visual merge tools, such as GitKraken, SourceTree, or built-in IDE tools (IntelliJ IDEA, VSCode).
- After resolving conflicts, I run
git addon the marked files and complete the merge withgit commit.
If the conflict is complex, I discuss with the team to understand which changes are more important to keep. It's also important to test the code after merging to ensure nothing is broken.
