hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths


This means that you need to explicitly tell Git that you've resolved a conflict at each file or folder (that is path).

Showing the list of yet unresolved conflicts:

git status

Marking a conflict as resolved.

File or all files in a folder should be left and all conflicts are resolved:

git add

File or folder should be removed:

git rm

Next step:

git commit


because some files are in conflict ,you can type git status to find out what is the file with conflict, and after the conflict was sovled ,just git commit -m sth log ,at last git cherry-pick your-commmit-id . see details http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Using_Git_Cherry_Pick#Resolve_conflicts


This... can be confusing, and with Git 2.34 (Q4 2021), the advice message that "git cherry-pick"(man) gives is clearer:

When it asks conflicted replay of a commit to be resolved by the end user, it now (Git 2.34, Q4 2021) says:

  • for git cherry-pick:
After resolving the conflicts, mark them with`git add`/`rm <pathspec>`, then run`git cherry-pick --continue`You can instead skip this commit with `git cherry-pick --skip`.To abort and get back to the state before `git cherry-pick`run `git cherry-pick --abort`.
  • for git revert:
After resolving the conflicts, mark them with`git add`/`rm <pathspec>`, then run`git revert --continue`You can instead skip this commit with `git revert --skip`.To abort and get back to the state before `git revert`run `git revert --abort`.

cherry-pick: use better advice message

"git cherry-pick"(man), upon seeing a conflict, says:

hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths hint: with `git add <paths>` or `git rm <paths>` hint: and commit the result with `git commit`.

As if running "git commit" to conclude the resolution of this single step were the end of the story.

This stems from the fact that the command originally was to pick a single commit and not a range of commits, and the message was written back then and has not been adjusted.

When picking a range of commits, and the command stops with a conflict in the middle of the range, however, after resolving the conflict and (optionally) recording the result with "git commit", the user has to run "git cherry-pick --continue" to have the rest of the range dealt with, "--skip" to drop the current commit, or "--abort" to discard the series.

Suggest use of "git cherry-pick --continue/--skip/--abort so that the message also covers the case where a range of commits are being picked.

Similarly, this optimization can be applied to git revert(man), suggest use of "git revert --continue/--skip/--abort so that the message also covers the case where a range of commits are being reverted.

It is worth mentioning that now we use advice() to print the content of GIT_CHERRY_PICK_HELP in print_advice(), each line of output will start with "hint: ".
