When I was doing project work, my colleague modified a CPP code, and I also modified the code. The two codes clashed. After submission, his code git merged automatically and was prompted: [master| MERGEING] 

$ git merge my_new_branch
error: Merging is not possible because you have unmerged files.
hint: Fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>'
hint: as appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit.
fatal: Exiting because of an unresolved conflict.

* solution:

If you have fixed the files you need to add the files to the stage with git add [filename], then commit as normal. Git add [modified conflicting files], and finally, commit the conflicting issues as normal: git commit [modified conflicting files] -m “comment content”

* is simply:

  • use git diff or git status to check which files are in conflict, the conflict will prompt:

++< < < < < < < HEAD

++< < < < < < < new_branch

  • modify your conflicting files, after the modification, save.

  • use git add XXX and add all the files you have modified.

  • finally, with git commit-a-m “note information” commit, complete.
