I can't figure out the best way to do this and it has happened a few times where I mess myself up that it'd be nice to know a possible good way for this. On master, I have our main project. We finally got approved to use ARC in iOS and I created a new branch for that to not mess with the main working master branch. I also took the time to delete some unneeded files in my ARCBranch. What I want to do is use this branch for development for the next release. I'd like to pull in the changes from master to the ARCBranch. So I switched to ARCBranch, and did

git pull origin master

I got conflicts, some which were straightforward because I could see the code, others being changes in the pbxproj file where I cannot tell what's what. I did see <<< HEAD ==== >>>. I can't tell what I need to do here. I can't open it in Xcode, only a text editor. I tried just deleting those <<< === >>> characters since I saw one person on SO say that you typically want both changes and that you could always do that. This didn't work for me. I was wondering if there is a better way to do this change. Maybe somewhere where I can see each change by change happen? Thanks.

Instead, you could try

git rebase master

This would apply the changes commit by commit. If there are conflicts, it would stop there, so that you can resolve them and do 

git rebase --continue

to finish applying all the patches.

It failed to auto merge so it marks the conflicting blocks of code and leaves them both so you can decide and remove one yourself.
