Development Tools Git Basics Merging Conflict Resolution

Resolve the first merge conflict by accepting the HEAD version of the conflict.

Hello. I tried removing the pessimistic_branch to accept the first HEAD version of the conflict.

Did not work.

Any ideas?

conflicted_file.txt
This is a text file! It's a fun little text file - 
it never really did anything to hurt anyone. 

The only problem with our fun little text file 
is that it has conflict resolution issues.

<<<<<<< HEAD
It tries its best to resolve problems on its own.
=======
It pretty much can't ever resolve problems.


Whenever it runs into a problem, it asks other people for help.

<<<<<<< HEAD
Maybe you can help it resolve its issues?
=======
But it's a very needy file, so people often leave it alone.
>>>>>>> pessimistic_branch

Hi Jonathan,

You are only looking to remove the the text between the head line like so:

The only problem with our fun little text file 
is that it has conflict resolution issues.

this is determine which line of code you want to choose between your conflict.

Hope this helps,

Peter
