“Resolve these conflicts” link is too subtle

For such a useful feature we should not be hiding it behind an inconspicuous link:

Solution

Turn the links into a more obvious button group with two buttons: Resolve conflicts and Merge locally.

Since we have the merge conflict editor, be sure to label the button “Merge locally” instead of “Merge manually”.

Resolve Conflicts only

resolve-conflicts

Description line: “To merge this request, resolve these conflicts or ask someone with write access to this repository to merge it locally”

Resolve Conflicts and Merge Locally

resolve-conflicts-merge-locally

Description line: “To merge this request, resolve these conflicts or merge it locally”
