Gitwand Overview

gitwand MCP server exposes Git merge-conflict analysis and resolution workflows to connected agents. It identifies conflicted files, classifies hunks by complexity, resolves eligible trivial cases, and reports pending work with decision traces. Agents can preview changes, inspect classification context, propose custom resolutions, and apply validated results. Reach for it when an agent should handle routine conflicts while keeping complex hunks available for deliberate review.

Primary Use Cases for Gitwand:
  • List conflicted files before assigning resolution work
  • Preview merge risk without changing the working tree
  • Auto-resolve trivial conflicts and return complex hunks
  • Inspect why a conflict hunk received its classification
