WizardMerge
Intelligent Merge Conflict Resolution
SEE ALSO: https://github.com/JohnDoe6345789/mergebot
WizardMerge is a powerful tool for resolving merge conflicts using intelligent algorithms based on research from The University of Hong Kong. It combines dependency analysis at both text and LLVM-IR levels to provide smart merge suggestions.
Architecture
WizardMerge uses a multi-frontend architecture with a high-performance C++ backend and multiple frontend options:
Backend (C++)
- Location:
backend/ - Build System: CMake + Ninja
- Package Manager: Conan
- Web Framework: Drogon
- Features: Three-way merge algorithm, conflict detection, auto-resolution, HTTP API
Frontends
WizardMerge provides three frontend options to suit different workflows:
Qt6 Native Desktop (C++)
- Location:
frontends/qt6/ - Framework: Qt6 with QML
- Features: Native desktop application, offline capability, high performance
- Platforms: Linux, Windows, macOS
Next.js Web UI (TypeScript)
- Location:
frontends/nextjs/ - Runtime: bun
- Framework: Next.js 14
- Features: Web-based UI, real-time collaboration, cross-platform access
CLI (C++)
- Location:
frontends/cli/ - Features: Command-line interface, automation support, scripting integration
- Use Cases: Batch processing, CI/CD pipelines, terminal workflows
Roadmap
See ROADMAP.md for our vision and development plan. The roadmap covers:
- Enhanced merge algorithms (three-way merge, conflict detection) ✓
- Smart semantic merging for different file types
- Advanced visualization and UI improvements
- Git workflow integration
- AI-assisted conflict resolution
Getting Started
C++ Backend
cd backend
./build.sh
./build/wizardmerge-cli
The backend server will start on port 8080. See backend/README.md for details.
Frontends
Choose the frontend that best fits your workflow:
Qt6 Desktop Application
cd frontends/qt6
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -G Ninja
ninja
./wizardmerge-qt6
See frontends/qt6/README.md for details.
Next.js Web UI
cd frontends/nextjs
bun install
bun run dev
Visit http://localhost:3000. See frontends/nextjs/README.md for details.
CLI
cd frontends/cli
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -G Ninja
ninja
./wizardmerge-cli-frontend --help
See frontends/cli/README.md for details.
Research Foundation
WizardMerge is based on research from The University of Hong Kong achieving:
- 28.85% reduction in conflict resolution time
- Merge suggestions for over 70% of code blocks affected by conflicts
- Dependency analysis at text and LLVM-IR levels
See docs/PAPER.md for the complete research paper.
