After I merged a file in Git I tried to pull the repository but error came up:
You have not concluded your merge. (MERGE_HEAD exists)
How does one conclude a merge?
After a git merge stops due to conflicts you can conclude the merge by running git merge --continue (see "HOW TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS" section below). Commits, usually other branch heads, to merge into our branch.
The problem for the "You have not concluded your merge (merge_head exists)" message is that previous pull was failed to merge automatically and went into conflicted state. The solution is to undo the merge and pull again.
yes ..you need to commit MERGE STATEMENT.
Check status (git status
) of your repository. Every unmerged file (after you resolve conficts by yourself) should be added (git add
), and if there is no unmerged file you should git commit
Note and update:
Since Git1.7.4 (January 2011), you have git merge --abort
, synonymous to "git reset --merge
" when a merge is in progress.
But if you want to complete the merge, while somehow nothing remains to be added, then a crude rm -rf .git/MERGE*
can be enough for Git to forget about the current merge.
The easiest solution I found for this:
git commit -m "fixing merge conflicts"
git push
I just did:
git merge --continue
At which point vi launched to edit a merge comment. A quick :wq and the merge was done.
If you encounter this error in SourceTree, go to Actions>Resolve Conflicts>Restart Merge.
