Perspective resource.json and git merge issue

Ignition

#1

I keep having this issue where something I am doing with git keeps causing my resource.json files for perspective to end up in a state like this. I can “accept the incoming changes” in vs code, or I can just manually fix them, but how do I keep this from happening?

It makes scripts show up as packages and it causes a handful of issues, so its a nuisance

  }

I normally just do the following in order to get started:

git fetch origin
git merge origin/branch
<make my changes>
git add .
git commit -m "My Message Here"
git push origin branch

Are you making these changes externally, e.g. in VS code? Or in the designer?

I’m making my changes In the designer and fetching from a remote git lab instance

But when this happens it makes the designer think whatever object (script, view, etc.) is a folder, and so I can’t open it until I manually go fix the resource.json
