Problem

IntelliJ, and all other IntelliJ-based IDE such as WebStorm, support a git merge's conflict resolution tool that it shows the conflict in three columns: - the first column for Local Changes - the third column for Changes from Server - the second column for Conflict Resolution Result Please see my attached file. I find that it's super easy for us to resolve conflict, because I can compare the Local Changes and the Server Changes on the same windows, and I can see the Resolution Result immediately. Can we please support that?

Solution: Support 3 way merge for git conflicts

Low Risk

This will be a super cool feature, I use `VSCode` for my day job but often resort to `WebStorm` when I need to resolve a merge conflict due to its interactivity and ease to use.
