Re: Question about pull-requests

From your message I’m guessing you are using Bitbucket Server with branch permissions [1]. We’re aware the conflict resolution instructions can not always be followed. Improving these is on our backlog (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-7561) - feel free to watch/vote for that issue.

First, let’s start with the most basic case: a pull request you created is conflicted and can’t be merged. Here, you can apply Jeff King’s solution and back-merge the target branch. Alternatively, you can, of course, rebase the branch too. (Check out https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/merging-vs-rebasing for more info on which option to pick and when).

If you are using cascading merges [2] in Bitbucket Server, there’s a chance of conflicts during the merge-cascade, which will generate “Automatic merge failures”. If this happens, Bitbucket will create a new pull request on your behalf. The same strategy as above can be applied: merge the target branch and resolve the conflicts, or rebase.
