If you are sure that you already resolved all merge conflicts   rm -rf  git MERGE    And the error will disappear

User · Answer

I think this is the right way    git merge --abort  git fetch --all   Then  you have two options   git reset --hard origin master   OR If you are on some other branch   git reset --hard origin  lt branch name gt

I resolved the conflict and then do a commit with -a option  It worked for me

Best approach is to undo the merge and perform the merge again  Often you get the order of things messed up  Try and fix the conflicts and get yourself into a mess   So undo do it and merge again   Make sure that you have the appropriate diff tools setup for your environment  I am on a mac and use DIFFMERGE  I think DIFFMERGE is available for all environments  Instructions are here  Install DIFF Merge on a MAC  I have this helpful resolving my conflicts  Git Basic-Merge-Conflicts

In my case I had a cherry pick that produce a number of Merge Conflicts  so I decide to not complete the cherry pick   I discarded all my changes   Doing so put me into a state where I received the following error      You have not concluded your merge  MERGE HEAD exists   To fix the issue I performed the following git command which fixed the problem     git cherry-pick --abort

We can use git merge --continue with git version 2 12 and above to continue your merging after resolved the conflict  Can see this answer

Try  git reset --hard origin trunk    trunk  is the branch that I am trying to get to   I don t know how or why this works  It had something to do with some commit I made which was forcing my pull requests to do a merge

User · Answer

Commit merge changes solved my problem   git commit -m  commit message

User · Answer

first use git pull to merge repository save your change then retype git commit -m  your commit

User · Answer

OK  The problem is your previous pull failed to merge automatically and went to conflict state  And the conflict wasn t resolved properly before the next pull     Undo the merge and pull again   To undo a merge   git merge --abort   Since git version 1 7 4    git reset --merge   prior git versions  Resolve the conflict  Don t forget to add and commit the merge  git pull now should work fine

I resolved conflicts and also committed but still getting this error message on git push     All conflicts fixed but you are still merging     use  git commit  to conclude merge    I did these steps to resolve error   rm -rf  git MERGE  git pull origin branch name  git push origin branch name

This worked for me   git log  git reset --hard  lt 089810b5be5e907ad9e3b01f gt   git pull git status

Blockquote  If you re trying to pull from another branch into your branch  If you re seeing this error    First  you should try doing git commit and then pull another branch into yours     git add     git commit   Then do git pull from the required branch

I think it s worth mentioning that there are numerous scenarios in which the message You have not concluded your merge  MERGE HEAD exists  could occur  because many people have probably arrived at this page after searching for said message  The resolution will depend on how you got there  git status is always a useful starting point  If you ve already merged the contents to your satisfaction and are still getting this message  it could be as simple as doing git add file git commit  But again  it really depends on the situation  It s a good idea to understand the basics before attempting anything  same link Terence posted   Git - Basic Merge Conflicts
