[git] Resolve Git merge conflicts in favor of their changes during a pull

Please not that sometimes this will not work:

git checkout --ours path/to/file

or

git checkout --theirs path/to/file

I did this instead, assuming HEAD is ours and MERGE_HEAD is theirs

git checkout HEAD -- path/to/file

or:

git checkout MERGE_HEAD -- path/to/file

After we do this and we are good:

git add .

If you want to understand more, see wonderful post of torek here : git checkout --ours does not remove files from unmerged files list
