Resolve Git merge conflicts in favor of their changes during a pull

Question

How do I resolve a git merge conflict in favor of pulled changes?

Basically, I need to remove all conflicting changes from a working tree without having to go through all of the conflicts with a git mergetool while keeping all conflict-free changes. Preferably doing this while pulling, not afterward.

Answer 1

Case 1: In case you are in a conflicted state and you want to just accept all of theirs:

$ git checkout --theirs .

$ git add .

Case 2: In case you want to do the opposite:

$ git checkout --ours .

$ git add .

Remember this method is pretty drastic, so make sure you really want to wipe everything out like this before doing it.
