Git resolve mege conflicts accepting theirs or ours changes
You can use the recursive "theirs" strategy option:
git merge --strategy-option theirs
From the man:
ours
This option forces conflicting hunks to be auto-resolved cleanly by
favoring our version. Changes from the other tree that do not
conflict with our side are reflected to the merge result.
This should not be confused with the ours merge strategy, which does
not even look at what the other tree contains at all. It discards
everything the other tree did, declaring our history contains all that
happened in it.
theirs
This is opposite of ours.
Note: as the man page says, the "ours" merge strategy-option is very different from the "ours" merge strategy.
If you're already in conflicted state, and you want to just accept all of theirs:
git checkout --theirs .
git add .
If you want to do the opposite:
git checkout --ours .
git add .
This is pretty drastic, so make sure you really want to wipe everything out like this before doing it.
