I assume you’re talking about the Versions layout (third item in the 
editor-layout segment control).

1. The classic way (Xcode ~3.2) is copy-and-paste. Still works, and it’s the 
only way to handle less than a full chunk. Obviously you can’t go 
left-to-right, because the right-hand pane is a display of a committed version, 
not an editor.

2. 7.0.1 (and quite a bit earlier) puts a drop-down menu on the lozenge in the 
gutter, “Discard Change.” Moving the old (right-hand) code into the left is the 
same as rejecting the “change.” (My possibly-sloppy experiment shows that if 
the changes came in separate branches, the option is still there, so it’s not a 
change but a diff’ed chunk.)

Up- and down- arrow rotates among them.


Less likely, you mean the comparison sheet for a commit. There’s a prominent 
button on each chunk to put the change off until a later commit, and a dropdown 
command to abandon it entirely.


Not likely your meaning at all, for non-conflict lines in a merge, there’s a 
toggle in the ribbon between the chunks. Set it so your local version (left) 
wins, or the arriving remote one wins (right). In the case of a conflict, 
select the chunk, then use the control at the bottom to choose 
left-wins/right-wins/left-then-right/right-then-left.
