Software & DevOpsDone with Microsoft Scout
Resolve git merge conflicts and push a fix
A tutorial shows Scout comparing both sides of merge conflicts, proposing a merged file for review, then committing and pushing to a branch.
- What They Did
- After a git pull leaves conflict markers in a file, you point Scout at that file. It reads the markers, compares both versions of the code, and proposes a merged file for you to review. The article describes committing and pushing to a branch as a separate Scout workflow. Scout checks the diff, drafts a commit message, creates the branch and pushes. By default you approve each command before it runs.
- How It Went
- The article describes the workflow but reports no measured results, timings or real-repo example. Merge resolution is covered in only a few sentences, and the article doesn't say how well it handles complex conflicts.
- Worth Knowing
- Scout needs enterprise access: Frontier preview enrollment, an Intune device policy, and Microsoft 365 Copilot plus GitHub Copilot Business or Enterprise licenses. Personal accounts can't sign in.
Try it yourself with Microsoft Scout
My repo at [path to repo] has merge conflicts after merging [branch A] into [branch B]. Compare both sides of each conflicted file, explain what each side changed, and propose a merged version for me to review. Once I approve, run [test command] to confirm nothing broke, then pause and show me the commit and push details before pushing to [branch name].
