Recently I’ve experienced a significant increase in merge conflicts at the company I’m currently working at (we hired a couple of junior data scientists and some are not that familiar with git)
Even though those merge conflicts can be a little tedious to resolve, I realized that I personally started to enjoy it - especially using fugitive. Haven’t had many conflicts in a while, so almost forgot about Gdiffsplit and how awesome that plugin is…
Now I’m wondering, how often do you have to resolve (more or less complex) merge conflicts?
This made me realize why I found this whole question so confusing. I write code professionally, but don’t really do open-source professionally or personally. There’s just very little reason for two people to be writing code in the same file in the same week in my job. If it does happen, it still doesn’t usually come close enough to cause a conflict. The rare case I find myself resolving merge conflicts is usually because I have some super old stash that I decide I actually want to apply months later.
