Where can I find documentations on how to resolve a git conflict properly? (lemmy.world)

Today I did a git push --force, then I had to create a branch out of the old code, but other times I had to save the files I worked on, delete the local repository, git clone again, then reapply my fixes. I want to at least have a bookmark on how to fix things in the future.

Yes, I've heard about VSCode plugins, that supposed to help. But no, I don't want to use a glorified webpage to do coding, regardless if it's directly tied to Micro$lop, or some of the slop was removed by 3rd parties. I tried KATE once, I cannot go back to some sluggish webpage, which only argument for use at the moment is "but it has plugins".

As others have said, you need to at least learn the basics about git such as branches, remotes and merging. No plugin or tool will help you avoid that. When you feel very comfortable with the basics, I recommend learning how to rebase instead of merging for conflict resolution.
