Merge Conflict Marker Finder

Scan pasted source text for unresolved Git merge-conflict blocks. The finder tracks opening, divider, optional base, and closing markers, then reports exact line numbers and incomplete or nested structures. It is useful for a quick pre-commit check when a large resolved file still looks suspicious.

What this developer tool does

Scan pasted source text for unresolved Git merge-conflict blocks. The finder tracks opening, divider, optional base, and closing markers, then reports exact line numbers and incomplete or nested structures. It is useful for a quick pre-commit check when a large resolved file still looks suspicious.

Recognizes seven-character conflict markers at the beginning of a line and validates their block order.

Marker-like text intentionally stored in documentation can be reported. Review the surrounding lines before deleting anything.

Example

The bundled sample demonstrates the expected input. Select Sample, run the analyzer, and compare the detailed output with the summary metrics.

const mode = "dark";
<<<<<<< HEAD
const limit = 10;
=======
const limit = 20;
>>>>>>> feature/tune-limit

Use cases

  • Pre-commit and code-review checks
  • Query or repository troubleshooting
  • Generating copy-ready diagnostics for an issue

Tips for reliable output

  • Use the exact text that the target system will receive.
  • Keep dialect- or policy-specific options aligned with your project.
  • Review warnings even when the main result is valid.
  • Save structured JSON when another script needs the findings.
  • Confirm destructive operations in the real environment separately.

Frequently asked questions

What input does the Merge Conflict Marker Finder accept?

Paste plain text directly into the input box. The parser runs locally in the browser and does not send it to a server.

Can I use the Merge Conflict Marker Finder with large files?

Moderate source and configuration files work well. Browser memory and algorithm limits may apply to unusually large input.

Does this Merge Conflict Marker Finder modify my repository or database?

No. It only analyzes or transforms the text you provide and makes no repository or database connection.

Why might the result differ from another tool?

Repository policies, SQL dialects, and parser behavior vary. Treat the result as a focused preflight check and confirm project-specific rules.

Can I download the Merge Conflict Marker Finder output?

Yes. Run the tool, then use Download for the primary result or the JSON and CSV buttons when structured data is available.
