Files have unresolved conflicts.

Using PyCharm and trying to commit changes, but there are unresolved conflicts.

When trying to commit get this:

Cannot commit changes due to unresolved conflicts.

Can’t identify Conflicted Files from PyCharm.

    • Open the Git tool window in PyCharm (usually found in the View menu).
  • Look for files marked with a conflict icon (usually a triangle with an exclamation point).
  • If PyCharm doesn’t automatically highlight them, try searching for files containing the string “<<<<<<< HEAD” or “>>>>>>>” in the project directory.
  1. Open Conflicted Files:
  • Double-click on a conflicted file to open it in the editor.
  • You’ll see a visual representation of the conflict, with three sections:
    • Your local changes (marked with “<<<<<<< HEAD”)
    • The remote changes (marked with “>>>>>>>”)
    • A merge conflict marker (usually a line of hyphens)
  1. Resolve Conflicts:
  • Manually edit the file to resolve the conflicts. You can choose to keep your local changes, the remote changes, or a combination of both.
  • Remove the conflict markers (<<<<<<< HEAD, =======, >>>>>>>) once you’ve merged the changes.
  1. Stage and Commit:
  • Once you’ve resolved all conflicts, stage the changes using the Stage button in the Git tool window.
  • Commit the changes with a meaningful commit message.
