jGIT Detect Conflicts by Commit&Push and Pull

Beside merging branches, GIT can have conflicts by

• Commit/Push ( if a file in GIT has been modified meanwhile
• by Pull, if the local file has been modified by me.

How can I list this conflicts before the push or pull and mark them as fixed?

I tried using Git.status(), and expected to see this files under conflicts, but nothing is listed.

Status status = git.status().call();
status.getConflicting();

Here are some code snippets I use:

git.pull().setContentMergeStrategy(ContentMergeStrategy.CONFLICT).setCredentialsProvider( new FxGitCredentialsProvider( getDialogScene() )).call();

final AddCommand addCommand = git.add();
for ( String filePattern : filePatterns){
    addCommand.addFilepattern( filePattern );
}
addCommand.call();

git.commit().setMessage(messageTextArea.getText()).setCredentialsProvider( new FxGitCredentialsProvider( getDialogScene() )).call();
if ( push ){
   PushCommand pushCommand = git.push().setCredentialsProvider( new FxGitCredentialsProvider( getDialogScene()));
   pushCommand.call();
}

Two clarifications :

1. git push doesn't trigger conflicts (not a file level conflict as a merge would do), it just refuses to update a branch if the commit you are pushing is not a fast forward of the existing branch tip

2. git pull is actually a 2 steps command : git fetch, which recovers the commits from the remote repository, followed by git merge <upstream branch>
   conflicts may be triggered by the second step (a regular git merge)

There are other commands that may trigger conflicts: git cherry-pick and git rebase

To fix issues with 1.: you won't see anything by running git status, you should update your view of the remote (git fetch), inspect the history and select what to do:

• probably run git merge <upstream/branch> or git rebase <upstream/branch>.
  As said above: running git fetch followed by git merge is the same as running git pull, the difference is that you can inspect the state of your repo before running git merge.

• or force push : git push --force-with-lease origin

To fix issues with 2.: you can run a regular merge conflict resolution.
