Git Merge - Binary File Conflict Resolution


How do I resolve a binary file conflict resolution during a merge operation in git? Here's what I've done so far:

git checkout master
git fetch origin
git merge working_branch

... [Conflicts] ...

git status
...
Unmerged paths:
        both modified:   Path/file.dll
        ...

I want to keep the version in the working_branch and discard the version in the master. How do I do this?


Solution

  • Figured it out earlier today:

    git checkout --theirs Path/file.dll
    git add Path/file.dll
    git commit -m "Resolved merge conflict by checking out file from working_branch and adding it to the master"
