Resolving Conflicts During a Cherry-Pick Operation Clone the Repository
Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://site.your.some.site
Fetch the Latest Changes
Fetch the latest changes from the remote repository:
git fetch origin
Cherry-Pick Changes
Cherry-pick the specific commit from the source branch:
git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
Git will attempt to apply the changes from the specified commit. If there are conflicts, it will pause the cherry-pick operation.
Identify Conflicting Files
Check which files have conflicts:
git status
Inspect Conflicts
Open each conflicting file to review the conflicts. Conflicts will be marked similarly:
<<<<<<< HEAD
// Code from the current branch
// Code from the cherry-picked commit
<commit-hash>
Resolve Conflicts
Decide how to resolve each conflict. Modify the code to resolve conflicts manually in each conflicted file.
Mark Conflicts as Resolved
After resolving conflicts in a file, mark it as resolved:
git add <file-path>
Repeat this for each conflicted file.
Complete the Cherry-Pick
Continue the cherry-pick process to complete the operation:
git cherry-pick --continue
If needed, abort the cherry-pick with:
git cherry-pick --abort
This cancels the cherry-pick operation entirely.
