Fix Merge Conflicts
Resolve all merge conflicts on the current branch non-interactively and leave the repo buildable.
Constraints
- Do not ask the user for input. Make best-effort decisions and explain them in a summary.
- Prefer minimal changes that preserve both sides' intent.
- Do not push or tag — only commit locally.
Workflow
1. Detect conflicts
git status --porcelain
Collect files with U statuses or containing <<<<<<< / ======= / >>>>>>> markers.
2. Resolve conflicts per file
Open each conflicting file and remove conflict markers. Merge both sides logically when feasible.
When sides are mutually exclusive, pick the variant that:
- Compiles and passes type checks
- Preserves existing public APIs and behavior
File-type strategies:
| File type | Strategy |
|---|
package.json | Merge keys conservatively, then yarn install to regenerate yarn.lock |
yarn.lock | Never manually edit — regenerate with yarn install |
Config files (.json, .yaml) | Preserve union of safe settings; don't delete required fields |
| Markdown / text | Include both unique sections, deduplicate headings |
| Binary files | Prefer current branch (ours) |
Generated / build artifacts (dist/) | Prefer current branch (ours), or regenerate with yarn build |
3. Validate
Run build check. Fix any failures before proceeding.
yarn build
If package.json was modified, run yarn install first.
4. Verify no remaining markers
rg '<<<<<<<|=======|>>>>>>>' --type ts --type json
If any markers remain, go back and resolve them.
5. Finalize
git add -A
git commit -m "chore: resolve merge conflicts"
Operational Guidance
- If a resolution is ambiguous and blocks the build, prefer the variant that compiles.
- For large refactors causing conflicts, keep consistent imports, types, and module boundaries.
- Keep edits minimal — don't reformat unrelated code.
- Format resolved files with
yarn prettier after changes.
Deliverables
- Clean working tree with all conflicts resolved
- Passing
yarn build
- One local commit:
chore: resolve merge conflicts
- Brief summary of files touched and notable resolution choices
