add this as the remote: git remote add upstream https://github.com/outdoola/mergefest
once you add this make sure your remote is there with git remote -v
- Edit this with your first name Hello!!.
Lets try to git pull upstream master
and see what happens.
We have a merge conflict! Yay!
Let's reset to our last change by running git reset --hard HEAD~1
Now lets pull but take the master changes:
git pull upstream master -s recursive -X theirs
(In your normal repos to get Jim's changes, use git pull upstream master -s recursive -X theirs
)
- Edit this with your last name McAlear.
Now lets pull but take our local changes:
git pull upstream master -s recursive -X ours
(In your normal repos to keep your changes, use git pull upstream master -s recursive -X ours
)
- Edit this with your favorite fruit pizza and your favorite song Oops I did it again.
Also, write anything you want below this line. :)

Now lets pull but take both parts of our changes and their changes:
git pull
Open your favorite text editor and follow along.
It is a way to say, "just ignore these files in my git repo, pretend they don't exist to git." All you have to do is create a .gitignore
file in the base of your git repo and add any file matching patterns to it. for example, you may just want to ignore all ipython notebook checkpoints or all mac specific files that aren't part of your code in that repo.
- Check out gitignore.io. It will help you create
.gitignore
files. more on .gitignore git reset --hard HEAD~1
- will reset your git back to your last commit.git clean -f
- will remove extra files that aren't in version control.git mergetool --tool=opendiff
- (for mac) will put you in an "interactive merge conflict" tool. (pc alternative). more on mergetool
