How to view only the unmerged files in git after a merge failure

Question

While merging some of the files failed to merge.

git status

shows both the successful and failed merges.

How to view only the unsuccessful merge files(conflict).

Currently i am using the following command to do this

 find . -name '*.cpp' -o -name '*.h' | xargs grep -l '<<<<'

Answer 1

git diff

This will only show failed merges after an unsuccessful merge. It has many options to configure what information you want to see. I suspect this is the exact option you are after:

 git diff --name-status --diff-filter=U
