Root Cause

Git cannot automatically merge changes — both branches modified the same lines.

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Resolve manually: open conflicting files, choose correct code between <<<<<<< and >>>>>>> 
    Use git diff to see both sides; remove conflict markers after resolving
  2. 90% success Use a merge tool: git mergetool — opens a visual diff/merge editor 
    Configure with: git config merge.tool vimdiff

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Accepting 'ours' or 'theirs' blindly for all files 75% fail

    Discards one side's changes entirely without reviewing

  2. Deleting the conflicting files and recreating them 85% fail

    Loses git history; may miss important changes from either side
