git diff --name-only --diff-filter U   xargs git checkout --theirs   Seems to do the job   Note that you have to be cd ed to the root directory of the git repo to achieve this

You can -Xours or -Xtheirs with git merge as well  So    abort the current merge  for instance with git reset --hard HEAD  merge using the strategy you prefer  git merge -Xours or git merge -Xtheirs    DISCLAIMER  of course you can choose only one option  either -Xours or -Xtheirs  do use different strategy you should of course go file by file   I do not know if there is a way for checkout  but I do not honestly think it is terribly useful  selecting the strategy with the checkout command is useful if you want different solutions for different files  otherwise just go for the merge strategy approach

In case anyone else is looking to simply overwrite everything from one branch  say master  with the contents of another  there s an easier way   git merge origin master --strategy ours   Thanks to https   stackoverflow com a 1295232 560114  Or for the other way around  see Is there a  quot theirs quot  version of  quot git merge -s ours quot

Just grep through the working directory and send the output through the xargs command   grep -lr   lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt       xargs git checkout --ours   or  grep -lr   lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt       xargs git checkout --theirs   How this works  grep will search through every file in the current directory  the    and subdirectories recursively  the -r flag  looking for conflict markers  the string   lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt     the -l or --files-with-matches flag causes grep to output only the filename where the string was found  Scanning stops after first match  so  each matched file is only output once   The matched file names are then piped to xargs  a utility that breaks up the piped input stream into individual arguments for git checkout --ours or --theirs   More at this link   Since it would be very inconvenient to have to type this every time at the command line  if you do find yourself using it a lot  it might not be a bad idea to create an alias for your shell of choice  Bash is the usual one   This method should work through at least Git versions 2 4 x

git checkout -- ours theirs    will do what you want  as long as you re at the root of all conflicts  ours theirs only affects unmerged files so you shouldn t have to grep find etc conflicts specifically
