Let's say a conflict occurs in the `restorepreview` patch. The best way to resolve this conflict would be something along the lines of: - Ensure you're on latest master and run `cp src/nnn.c src/nnn.c.orig && make O_RESTOREPREVIEW=1`. This will save a copy of the source from master in `src/nnn.c.orig` and generate conflict markers in `src/nnn.c`.
