Traversing Git Conflict Markers

Today I solved several nagging inefficiencies in my Vim setup. One was memorizing a mapping for traversing Git conflict markers.

If you've ever had a merge conflict and opened the unresolved file, you'll see these markers:

<<<<<<<
console.log('keep this code?')
=======
console.log('...or this?')
>>>>>>>

Deciding what to keep can be a process, and Vim-Unimpaired makes it easier by providing mappings to jump between the markers-- ]n for the next marker, [n for the previous marker. Use these to traverse the diff and learn about what might be gained or lost during resolution.
