So, this is my situation: I’ve forked this repository which contains dotfile and script for hyprland. I changed some files and now, if I want to sync all the commits made on the original repository to my repository github says “This branch has conflicts that must be resolved”. My question is: can I merge only the commits that don’t conflict with my files? What else can I do?
You pull the origin to your fork and solve the conflicts one by one, that’s usually how it goes.
If you want to keep your files how they are you can select “accept local changes” instead of “accept incoming changes”. That’s it.
Edit: If you need something more detailed let me know, I am assuming you are using an IDE like VSCode
Thanks, I was able to do exactly what I wanted.
Just make sure things are working while doing this. Maybe accepting your changes and the incoming changes is the correct way, but you need to know what you are doing.
