You can undo a Git merge using the git reset –merge command. This command changes all files that are different between your current repository and a particular commit. There is no “git undo merge” command but the git reset command works well to undo a merge.
We can use git checkout for far more than simply changing branches. If we supply it with a branch name and a file, we can replace a corrupted or broken file. Instead, if we want to pass some of the changed content we can use the --patch flag to manually merge an individual file.
Use git-reset or git merge --abort to cancel a merge that had conflicts. Please note that all the changes will be reset, and this operation cannot be reverted, so make sure to commit or git-stash all your changes before you start a merge.
Git merge --abort # this will allow you to undo merge conflicts. This attempts to reset your working copy to whatever state it was in before the merge. That means that it should restore any uncommitted changes from before the merge, Generally, you shouldn't merge with uncommitted changes anyway.
It seems I was just looking in the wrong place. The solution turned out to be quite simple.
git checkout -m <file>
This returns the file to its conflicted state. I can then run git mergetool to redo the merge.
