Take the pain out of Git conflict resolution: use diff3 (2017)
The 3-way diff in JetBrains products, like IntelliJ, are the best, IMHO, because it helps you edit the resolved result, while updating both left and right diffs.<p>Their diff tool also has a magic-wand icon, which resolves trivial conflicts automatically. I still wonder why git doesn't do that by default... It's such a pain to resolve conflicts without that feature.<p>Also, you get syntax highlighting, structural editing, help, definition quick-lookup and similar IDE features available, while working on the resolved version of the code, which is syntactically correct usually, because there are no explicit, textual conflict markers in the resolved text.
