When I merge a branch in Git to master I often get merge conflicts. Is there a way to merge a branch and just overwrite the stuff in the current branch?

    Add -X ours argument to your git merge command.

    Say you are working in your local branch. Then you want to merge in what went in the master:

    git merge -X ours master
    

    On the other hand if you are in master and want to merge your local branch into master then @elhadi rightly says you should use theirs:

    git merge -X theirs somebranch
