# vimdiff cheat sheet

##git mergetool

In the middle file (future merged file), you can navigate between conflicts with `]c` and `[c`.

Choose which version you want to keep with `:diffget //2` or `:diffget //3` (the `//2` and `//3` are unique identifiers for the target/master copy and the merge/branch copy file names).

    :diffupdate (to remove leftover spacing issues)
    :only (once you’re done reviewing all conflicts, this shows only the middle/merged file)
    :wq (save and quit)
    git add .
    git commit -m “Merge resolved”

If you were trying to do a `git pull` when you ran into merge conflicts, type `git rebase –continue`.
