Lazygit/26/05/23 Sat Rebase conflict resolution on 2026-05-20 journal
- replayed local commit
1245c96 (rg --context=8 PATTERN path/ is +/- 8 lines of context) onto c47ab2f during a git/rebase of main. Lazygit showed one conflict: journals/2026_05_20.md (AA, both sides added the file). - contrast with Lazygit/26/04/24 Fri Issues with git merge conflict resolution — this time I kept both sides instead of picking one hunk and losing journal content.
What Happened
Workflow That Worked
e in the Files panel opened journals/2026_05_20.md in nvim with conflict markers still present.- merged manually: one
[[Gard/Diff]] block with both Filed links; removed all conflict markers. - when lazygit prompted All merge conflicts resolved. Continue the rebase?,
Enter continued the rebase (git rebase --continue).
What I Learned
- for journal pages where both sides added different Filed entries, manual edit in
$EDITOR is safer than M merge-conflict menu options that take a whole side. - lazygit's command log is useful confirmation that staging and editor launches happened as expected.
- the April recovery note still holds: use Lazygit for navigation and inspection, then reconstruct the final file in the editor when both sides carry real content.
