Resolve the first merge conflict by accepting the HEAD version of the conflict.

please help me guys i keep on getting bummer

conflicted_file.txt 
This is a text file! It's a fun little text file - 
it never really did anything to hurt anyone. 

The only problem with our fun little text file 
is that it has conflict resolution issues.


It tries its best to resolve problems on its own.

It pretty much can't ever resolve problems.


Whenever it runs into a problem, it asks other people for help.

HEAD
Maybe you can help it resolve its issues?

But it's a very needy file, so people often leave it alone.
