Conflicts and in-progress Git state

When a merge, rebase, or similar operation is in progress, GIT DELTA surfaces that state clearly.

In-progress banner

In-progress banner

The banner shows a short message for the current state and actions such as:

ActionTypical effect
AbortCancel the in-progress operation and restore the previous state
ContinueContinue after you have resolved what Git expects

During an interactive rebase, the wizard may offer Resume / Abort on its conflict step.

Conflicted files list

On File Status, conflicted paths appear under CONFLICTED.

Today this list is primarily for visibility:

  • You can see which paths need attention
  • Context actions focus on revealing the file in the file manager

Opening an external mergetool or marking paths resolved from dedicated buttons is not exposed in the UI yet — resolve conflicts with your usual editor/mergetool, then Continue / Resume in GIT DELTA.

Practical workflow

  1. Notice the banner — do not ignore an in-progress state
  2. Open File Status and inspect CONFLICTED
  3. Resolve files in your editor or mergetool
  4. Stage resolutions as Git requires
  5. Click Continue (or Resume in the rebase wizard)
