Resolve "CONFLICT (delete/modify)" in git
git
Solution
I also had the scenario
**CONFLICT (modify/delete):***FileName deleted in HEAD and modified in 6efb2a94ba0601aa1ec5050ab222a0359ee8379a. Version 6efb2a94ba0601aa1ec5050ab222a0359ee8379a of FileName left in tree.*
I was also equally confused and reached this post. But on typing `git status`, all doubts are vanished. `git status`, stated the following about the conflicted files:
Unmerged paths: (use "git add/rm ..." as appropriate to mark resolution)
So I just did `git rm FileName`, and after that the CONFLICT got resolved.
Problem
In one branch in one branch A a file is changed and the change commited. Now in another branch B the very same file is edited and renamed. When merging B into A git recognises the conflict properly (CONFLICT (delete/modify)) and both files are in the working directory. If I know want to have both changes in one file, how do I do this best? There is git merge-file that is - if I'm right - expecting both files and a common ancestor. But how to give latter? How can I say "use $path from $commit" or something like that? Example: ``` mkdir git-rename-repo cd git-rename-repo git init echo "First line" > afile git add . git commit -m "First commit in master" git checkout -b mybranch echo "Second line in mybranch" >> afile git mv afile bfile git commit -a -m "change and rename in mybranch" git checkout master echo "Changed first line in master" > afile git commit -a -m "changed afile" git merge mybranch ``` I now want a file named 'bfile' with both changes: ` Changed first line in master Second line in mybranch ` Thanks
