Detailed explanation of how to check conflicts in git

In team collaboration, Git is a very commonly used version control tool. But when multiple people modify the same file or the same code base at the same time, conflicts may occur. If someone has modified a file locally and submitted it, but another person has also modified the file remotely and submitted it, a conflict will occur.

So how to check conflicts in Git? Let’s introduce it below.

1. Check whether there is a conflict

In Git, you can check whether there is a conflict in the current file through the following command:

$ git status

If an output similar to the following appears, It means that there is a conflict in the current file:

On branch master
You have unmerged paths.
  (fix conflicts and run "git commit")

2. View conflicting files

After checking that there is a conflict, we need to check which files have conflicts. You can check it with the following command :

$ git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U

The --name-only parameter indicates that only the file name will be displayed, and the --diff-filter=U parameter indicates that conflict files will be displayed.

3. Resolve conflicts

By viewing conflict files, we can know which files have conflicts. Next, we need to resolve the conflict manually.

First, we need to open the conflicting file. The specific conflict location will be marked with a special symbol, for example:

>>>>>> branch_name

to <code>======= represents the locally modified content, ======= to >&gt ;>>>>> branch_name represents the content of remote modification.

We need to choose which part to keep or merge manually according to the actual situation. After the merge is complete, submit the changes again to resolve the conflict.

4. Submit the solution

When the conflict resolution is completed, we need to submit the solution through the following command:

$ git add <file_name>
$ git commit</file_name>

where<file_name> is the conflicting file name. </file_name>

5. View commit history

Finally, we can view the commit history through the following command:

$ git log

If it displays Merge branch '<branch_name>, it means the conflict has been successfully resolved. </branch_name>

Summary

Conflict is a common problem in team collaboration. Through the above introduction, we can learn how to view conflicts, resolve conflicts and submit solutions in Git. In actual development, timely resolution of conflicts can improve team collaboration efficiency and better promote project progress.
