When looking at Git conflict markers it can sometimes be confusing which half of the conflicting section belongs to which branch:

<<<<<<< HEAD  foo  =======  bar  >>>>>>> cb1abc6bd98cfc84317f8aa95a7662815417802d
  • the top half is the branch you a merging into
  • the bottom half is from the commit that you are trying to merge in

What this means in practice if you are doing something like git pull (which is equivalent to a git fetch followed by a git merge) is:

  • the top half shows your local changes
  • the bottom half shows the remote changes, which you are trying to merge in

On the other hand, if you are doing something like git rebase origin/master, you are effectively trying to merge your local changes "into" the upstream changes (by replaying them on top); that means:

  • the top half shows the upstream changes
  • the bottom half shows your local changes, which you are trying to merge in
