Use Scout to review a conflict and prepare a push

Microsoft Scout can inspect Git conflict markers, compare both versions, and prepare a merge or push flow for your approval.

Done with Microsoft Scoutยท Intermediate

What they did
A developer had a file with conflict markers after a git pull and sent it to Microsoft Scout. Scout read the conflicting sections, compared the two edits, and suggested a combined file for the developer to check. The same article also shows Scout handling a separate commit-and-push process: it looks at the diff, writes a commit message, creates a branch, and pushes after each step is approved.
How it went
The article explains the workflow but gives no timing data, success count, or real repository example. It also does not show how the tool performs on harder merge cases.
Tips
Treat it as a guided assistant, not an automatic conflict solver. Access is limited to enterprise users with Frontier preview enrollment, an Intune device policy, and Microsoft 365 Copilot plus GitHub Copilot Business or Enterprise licenses; personal accounts cannot log in.

Try it yourself with Microsoft Scout

I have a Git conflict in [file path]. Read the conflict markers, inspect both versions, and propose a merged draft for me to inspect. Explain any important differences, then stop and wait for my approval before changing files. If I approve the merge, apply it and show the resulting diff, then pause again before any commit, branch creation, push, deletion, submission, or other irreversible action. When you get to the commit step, suggest a short commit message based on the change.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
