simple way to resolve merge conflicts in git

In most cases, solution to merge-conflict is as simple as discarding local changes or remote/other branch changes.

Following is useful in those cases…
1. Search for all conflicting files.
grep -lr '<<<<<<<' .
2. At this point you may review each files. If solution is to accept local/our version, run:
git checkout --ours PATH/FILE
3. If solution is to accept remote/other-branch version, run:
git checkout --theirs PATH/FILE
4. If you have multiple files and you want to accept local/our version, run:
grep -lr '<<<<<<<' . | xargs git checkout --ours
5. If you have multiple files and you want to accept remote/other-branch version, run:
grep -lr '<<<<<<<' . | xargs git checkout --theirs
