CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in scripts/kconfig/Makefile

June 23, 2023

      Hello.

I'm trying to enable KVM virtualization on the Arm Chromebook using
KVM-tool. This is the tutorial where I'm reading how to do that :

https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/architectures-and-processors...

Below you can see what I did and the error that I've got :

this is the conflict I see inside the Makefile :

<<<<<<< HEAD
PHONY += xconfig gconfig menuconfig config localmodconfig
localyesconfig build_menuconfig build_nconfig build_gconfig
build_xconfig
PHONY += oldconfig xconfig gconfig menuconfig config silentoldconfig

...
kvm-tool/master
Is there a chance to fix it ? thanks
