resolve-conflicts

To resolve git merge conflicts correctly, analyze the operation context and conflict intent per file, determine “ours” vs “theirs” accurately, remove markers, stage resolved paths, and verify with build and tests before continuing.

During a git rebase conflict, “ours” and “theirs” flip because the branch being rebased onto becomes the current base, making operation-aware framing essential to ensure your decisions match the specific git operation in progress.

The best way to handle cherry-pick conflicts is to list conflicted paths, inspect the conflicting file context and related commits, resolve each file by taking the correct side or combining content, and run verification steps before continuing safely.

Yes, you can limit conflict resolution to a specific file or directory during an active git rebase by optionally providing a path, allowing the resolution process to focus only on the conflicted files within that scope.

To verify git conflict resolution is safe before continuing a revert, remove all conflict markers, stage only the resolved paths, and run the project's build, type checks, lint, format, and tests to ensure nothing is broken.

You should skip a conflicted file during a git merge when the conflict cannot be safely resolved by choosing a side or combining content, allowing you to continue the operation safely without staging that unresolved path.
