Great meme, and I'm sure op knows this, but for anyone else who is curious...

007 in theory means:

  • 00: you have already committed your code to your local code base
  • 7: When you try to merge your code with everyone else's there are 7 files that others have worked on since you last refreshed your local code base.

To resolve this, you need to go file by file and compare your changes with the changes on the remote code. You need to keep the changes others have made and incorporate your own.

You can use git diff file_name to see the differences.

If you have made small changes, it's easier to pull and force an overwrite of your local code and make changes again.

However multiple people working on the same files is usually a sign of organizational issues with management. Ie, typically you don't want multiple people working on the same files at the same time, to avoid stuff like this.

If you're not sure, ask someone that knows what they're doing before you follow any advice on Lemmy.
