Ryan,

Thanks.

Yes, I saw +<<<<<<< HEAD.

I have gone round in circles trying to deal with the conflicts.

To remove the conflict, I copied the content from the languagetool-org 
repository to my clone of my repository. Then, I added the file for staging and 
then committed. Then, I pushed the changes to my repository on GitHub. That 
seemed to solve the problem, but later, merge conflicts reappeared. 

But, why was there a merge conflict in the first place? The files that caused 
the merge conflicts were not EN. I edit only EN files.

Mike

Hi Mike,

You actually sound like you already know more about Git / GitHub than me.  I 
only just started contributing to the project.  I don't understand everything 
that is going on for you.  But I have seen cases where a conflict happens 
during a merge and "stuff" ends up being placed into my code.

For example, in 
languagetool-core/src/test/java/org/languagetool/rules/patterns/PatternTestTools.java,
 do you see the following?

+<<<<<<< HEAD

...
+=======

...

+>>>>>>> refs/remotes/languagetool-org/master


As far as I know, this means there was a problem merging.  This has happened to 
me either when I didn't have the correct tools installed to handle the merge, 
or I just didn't understand what was happening.  In those cases, I had to edit 
the files manually and then "try again," whatever that means.

By the way, thanks for the links.  The few pull requests I've submitted were 
for changes I made in the master branch of my fork.  Merge issues 
notwithstanding, your steps sounds like the better process.

On a side note, I don't think you need to reinstall GitHub Desktop.  Deleting 
your repository and creating a new fork should be sufficient to get you a clean 
copy.  I believe there is a way to sync the original (upstream) repo with your 
fork for keeping up-to-date in the future.
