Getting lost a bit
Hi Devs,
I'm trying to create a PR for this branch in my fork
https://github.com/nologic/nifi/tree/NIFI-4731. I see that master has moved
on to 1.5.0 but I'd like to have the processor built for 1.4 and later.
It's the version we're using. However, I don't see an origin/1.4.0 based on
the instructions from the contributor guide. How do I go about this? Please
give simple instructions, I'm not exactly a git master :)
Thanks,
Mike.

I should have been more thorough, but yes, of course one must be careful. Which is why I don’t necessarily like GUI merge tools.
NiFi is pretty well structured, so merge problems like you suggest should be less likely unless refactoring of core happens a lot.
Git has a pretty smart merge strategy with recursive being the default which allows for method renames.
If you get into a situation where two have been working in the same block causing a conflict there may be a problem with what is trying to be achieved.

Brett,
You don't want to necessarily delete the other side and just keep the
section you've modified... There may be changes that were made to that
code that you'll want to add to your own changes. A simple example would
be that a new method call was added in the section that you've modified,
which caused the conflict. Deleting that other side of the diff would
remove that method call, and undo someone else's work. We need to be
careful when resolving conflicts to make sure the final commit is a proper
merging of the commits (yours and and any from the git repo) that were made
since the commit hash from which you were making your changes.

I must be an odd one, I’m more comfortable resolving conflicts from the cli ;)
The simplest way is the CSV resolution strategy. Edit each file looking for <<< —- >>> blocks where conflicts are presented. Keep the section you want deleting the other side, then git add the file. Do for all conflicts then git commit.
Fetch often to try and keep your base aligned in order to keep conflicts as small as possible.

James,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give those a go.
Mike.

Mike,
I believe you will want to rebase your branch on the latest master before
you submit your PR. First, update your master branch if you have not
already done so, with commands like the following:
git checkout master
git fetch origin
git merge origin/master
Second, rebase your feature branch so that your commits are relative to the
latest master:
git checkout NIFI-4731
git rebase master
Given the recent changes in the GCP bundle, you may have some conflicts to
resolve. A GUI tool like IntelliJ can be very handy for resolving git
conflicts if you are not familiar with the command-line git resolution
process (almost nobody is).
If that does not work for you, an alternative would be to create a new
branch from the latest master, then manually copy/paste your changes to
make a more concise commit.
Thanks,
James
