Another way of dealing with this situation if your files ARE already checked in, and your files have been merged but not committed, so the merge conflicts are inserted into the file is to run: git reset This will switch to HEAD, and tell git to forget any merge conflicts, and leave the working directory as is.

Viewed k times. I've read all of the similar questions on this; it seems that none of the following have worked: Delete offending files git reset --hard HEAD git stash git pull Nearly every combination, stashing changes and pulling from repository, results in unmergable files.

Just tried: git stash git pull Also did not work. More Info There is one local commit, and the upstream has a commit as well. Improve this question. Christian Stewart. Christian Stewart Christian Stewart Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.

It may not say "unmerged". It could also say "both modified" or maybe one or two other things. What's the output of git status? After posting this I'm telling the team member to try git rebase --abort and git pull --rebase as per the suggestion by git — Christian Stewart.

I got solved with git remove the unmerged file locally. Chetabahana Chetabahana 8, 3 3 gold badges 56 56 silver badges 71 71 bronze badges. In the case where you actually don't want to delete your local changes, there's a workflow you can use to merge: Run git status. See git-reflog[1] for more details. You may also use any other valid commit reference. In these tables, A , B , C and D are some different states of a file. For example, the first line of the first table means that if a file is in state A in the working tree, in state B in the index, in state C in HEAD and in state D in the target, then git reset --soft target will leave the file in the working tree in state A and in the index in state B.

It resets i. Any mergy operation guarantees that the working tree file that is involved in the merge does not have a local change with respect to the index before it starts, and that it writes the result out to the working tree. So if we see some difference between the index and the target and also between the index and the working tree, then it means that we are not resetting out from a state that a mergy operation left after failing with a conflict.

That is why we disallow --merge option in this case. If there could be conflicts between the changes in the commit we want to remove and the changes in the working tree we want to keep, the reset is disallowed. To be safe, it is also disallowed when there are unmerged entries.

Somebody asks you to pull, and the changes sound worthy of merging. Make corrections to working tree files. See also the --amend option to git-commit[1]. Rewind the master branch to get rid of those three commits. Merge a topic branch into the current branch, which resulted in a fast-forward. This commit will get blown away so a throw-away log message is OK. This removes the file from the index while keeping it in the working directory.

This commits all other changes in the index. Adds the file to the index again. This commits your first edits in branch1. You can repeat steps multiple times to break the original code into any number of commits.

And finally create the final commit. The following tables show what happens when there are unmerged entries:. X means any state and U means an unmerged index.
