Resolving merge conflicts
If the change that you submitted has a merge conflict, you need to
manually resolve it using git rebase
.
Rebasing is used to integrate changes from one branch into another to resolve conflicts when multiple commits happen on the same file.
Warning
Never do a rebase on public (master) branches.
You submit a change.
Somebody else submits a change and that change merges. Now your change has a merge conflict.
Update your local repository:
$ git remote update $ git pull --ff-only origin master
Download your change:
$ git review -d $PARENT_CHANGE_NUMBER
Rebase your change:
$ git rebase origin/master
Resolve conflicts manually:
Conflicts are marked in a file with clear line breaks:
<<<<<<< HEAD Second line. ======= Third line. >>>>>>> feature/topic branch.
<<<<<<<: Indicates the start of the lines that had a merge conflict.
=======: Indicates separation of the two conflicting changes.
>>>>>>>: Indicates the end of the lines that had a merge conflict.
You need to resolve a conflict by manually editing the file. You also need to delete the '<<<<<<<', '=======', and'>>>>>>>' in the file.
Add the files to the stage:
$ git add $FILENAME
Complete the rebase process:
$ git rebase --continue
Send the rebased patch again for review:
$ git review
