Eclipse EGit Checkout conflict with files - EGit doesn t want to continue

Question

I ve started Eclipse EGit  In some scenarios it is really not comprehensive   I have local file e g  pom xml changed  On git server this file was changed   I do pull  EGIt says       Checkout conflict with files     i e  pulling stops  fetch is done  but not merge   that is OK  However the next is bad experience   I synchronize workspace  put my changes aside and make it the same as FETCH HEAD  But EGit doesn t want to continue  I replace the file with HEAD revision  But EGit still doesn t want to continue   What standard expected user operation should be with EGit after conflict resolution   UPDATE   I added to index  then marked as Merged -  pull still can t pass  When I select Merge I get the dialog    I can t commit the file as it is not in list of changed files

This is the way I solved my problem    Right click the folder that has uncommitted changes on your local Click Team   Advanced   Assume Unchanged Pull from master    UPDATE   As Hugo Zuleta rightly pointed out  you should be careful while applying this  He says that it might end up saying the branch is up to date  but the changes aren t shown  resulting in desync from the branch

If error comes for   settings language settings xml  or any such file you don t need to git    Team -  Commit -  Staged filelist  check if unwanted file exists  -  Right click on each-  remove from index  From UnStaged filelist  check if unwanted file exists  -  Right click on each-  Ignore    Now if Staged file list empty  and Unstaged file list all files are marked as Ignored  You can pull   Otherwise  follow other answers

After you get from Eclipse the ugly CheckoutConflictException  the Eclipse-Merge Tool button is disabled   Git need alle your files added to the Index for enable Merging   So  to merge your Changes and commit them you need to add your files first to the index  Add to Index  and  Commit  them without  Push   Then you should see one pending pull and one pending push request in Eclipse  You see that in one up arrow and one down arrow     If all conflict Files are in the commit  you can  pull  again  Then you will see something like     lt   lt   lt   lt   lt   lt   lt  HEAD Server Version          Local Version               branch  master  of     git  Then you either change it by the Merge-Tool  which is now enable or just do the merge by hand direct in the file  In the last step  you have to add the modified files again to the index and  Commit and Push  them   Checking done

The proper solution is the one provided by  Jojo Lechelt   However if you don t want to commit for any reason and still want to pull the changes you may save your changes somewhere else replace the conflicting file with HEAD revision and then pull   Later you can paste your changes again and compare it with HEAD and incorporate other people changes into your file

I guess the best way to do this is like this     Store all your changes in a separate branch  Then do a hard reset on the local master  Then merge back your changes from the locally created branch  Then commit and push your changes    That how I resolve mine  whenever it happens
