Resolve merge conflicts using the command line

The most direct way to resolve a merge conflict is to edit the conflicted file. Open the merge.txt file in your favorite editor. For our example lets simply remove all the conflict dividers. The modified merge.txt content should then look like:

this is some content to mess with
content to append
totally different content to merge later

Once the file has been edited use git add merge.txt to stage the new merged content. To finalize the merge create a new commit by executing:

git commit -m "merged and resolved the conflict in merge.txt"

Git will see that the conflict has been resolved and creates a new merge commit to finalize the merge.
