I want to merge all files manually with meld or any other diff tool, how can I do this with Git?
When I run git mergetool
it says no files need merging
. So I suppose I can do it only if I have conflicts.
To merge branches locally, use git checkout to switch to the branch you want to merge into. This branch is typically the main branch. Next, use git merge and specify the name of the other branch to bring into this branch. This example merges the jeff/feature1 branch into the main branch.
git merge branch -X ours. This option forces conflicting hunks to be auto-resolved cleanly by favoring our version. Changes from the other tree that do not conflict with our side are reflected to the merge result. For a binary file, the entire contents are taken from our side.
There is much simpler way:
git merge --no-commit merge_branch
As man says:
With
--no-commit
perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and further tweak the merge result before committing.
