The first commit that will be applied now is our resolved “Style the paragraph” commit, but now its diff is compatible with master. Now that we resolved all the conflicts we should stage these changes, but unlike with merge we don’t run git commit, instead we continue rebasing by running: git rebase -continue git rebase -continue This one is easy to resolve - we simply keep both changes because the fact that we added these two sets of changes in the same place is just a coincidence, they are not related. Ok, so how do we resolve this? On master we added some HTML tags in the same place where we linked the stylesheet from the style branch. This order would have been reversed if we had merged master into style because then changes from master are incoming. The second section is “incoming” from the style branch, and the reason why it’s being treated as incoming is because all its commits are being replayed, i.e. The first section, labelled with HEAD, represents what is currently on master. The conflict is in index.html and it looks like this: = > Style the paragraph Towards a Better Git History = > Style the paragraph Towards a Better Git History This is actually refers to the commit that failed to be replayed, which is “Style the paragraph” as indicated in the line above, so by running the suggested command we can see its diff: git am -show-current-patch git am -show-current-patch commit bc0cb6a1ae2813b4c64ce36e202910a7dce608e6 Author: Matija Marohnić Date: Sat Sep 7 14:08:03 2019 +0200 Style the paragraph diff -git a/index.html b/index.html index a7554e9.e86dc7a 100644 - a/index.html +++ b/index.html -4,6 +4,7 + Towards a Better Git History diff -git a/style.css b/style.css new file mode 100644 index 0000000.ba19f3a - /dev/null +++ b/style.css -0,0 +1,3 +p The message mentions something called “failed patch”. To abort and get back to the state before "git rebase", run "git rebase -abort". You can instead skip this commit: run "git rebase -skip".

Once a commit causes a conflict we will see a message like this: First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it. Now our commits will start replaying one by one on top of master. So let’s see what resolving these conflicts would look like, starting from rebasing style onto master: git rebase master git rebase master

I wanted to use this opportunity to share with you what I learned so you can become more confident and be able to make a distinction whether you’re struggling because of your Git skills or because of poorly committed changes. This isn’t because conflicts with rebase are harder to resolve than merge, the basic concepts are the same, it’s because the discomfort of resolving conflicts is closely related to how well changes have been committed.
#Git accept all incoming changes series#
In the previous part I mentioned that the reason why we were syncing style with master was because they had conflicting changes, and we all know how resolving conflicts can be uncomfortable, so I wanted to dedicated a separate series part to this. Resolving Conflicts Published on October 3rd, 2019
