GitHub PR Resolve Conflicts
Trigger
The current PR branch has unresolved merge conflicts after attempting to integrate its base branch and needs a reliable path back to a buildable state.
Workflow
- Confirm a merge or rebase conflict is in progress, then detect all conflicting files from git status and conflict markers.
- Resolve each conflict with minimal, correctness-first edits.
- Prefer preserving both sides when safe. Otherwise, choose the variant that compiles and keeps public behavior stable.
- Regenerate lockfiles with package manager tools instead of hand-editing.
- Run compile, lint, and relevant tests.
- Verify that no unmerged paths or conflict markers remain.
- Stage resolved files and summarize key decisions.
Guardrails
- Keep changes minimal and readable.
- Do not leave conflict markers in any file.
- Avoid broad refactors while resolving conflicts.
- Do not commit, push, or tag during conflict resolution; the calling workflow owns remote mutations.
Output
- Files resolved
- Files staged
- Notable resolution choices
- Build/test outcome
