Read… instructions? I love teaching people that git very often prints out what you should do next.
git: “to continue, resolve conflicts, add files, and run rebase —continue”
dev: …time to search stack overflow
All that said… just use lazygit. It does help to know CLI git first to put things in context, but if you do, no need to punish yourself every day by not using a UI.
sublime merge is pretty great, but having a working familiarity with the underlying tool is invaluable when shit inevitably goes sideways while collaborating
Great meme, and I’m sure op knows this, but for anyone else who is curious…
007 in theory means:
00: you have already committed your code to your local code base
7: When you try to merge your code with everyone else’s there are 7 files that others have worked on since you last refreshed your local code base.
To resolve this, you need to go file by file and compare your changes with the changes on the remote code. You need to keep the changes others have made and incorporate your own.
You can use git diff file_name to see the differences.
If you have made small changes, it’s easier to pull and force an overwrite of your local code and make changes again.
However multiple people working on the same files is usually a sign of organizational issues with management. Ie, typically you don’t want multiple people working on the same files at the same time, to avoid stuff like this.
If you’re not sure, ask someone that knows what they’re doing before you follow any advice on Lemmy.
If I get a big conflict and I know my change is trivial, I feel perfectly okay doing git fetch git reset --hard whatever and then reapplying my simple change as a new commit. Sort of a bootleg rebate.
First, I hard disagree with you. Overwriting my local version of code is a parachute - not an ideal landing, but better than merging by hand.
Also, my comment was not an attempt to teach everything about git, just to explain what is happening in simple terms, since git requires a lot of experience to understand what those messages mean.
