Root Cause

During a rebase operation, git cannot automatically apply a commit due to content conflicts that require manual resolution.

中文步骤

  1. Resolve conflicts manually in the conflicting files, then git add <file>; git rebase --continue
  2. Use git mergetool to launch a graphical merge tool for easier conflict resolution
  3. If the commit is not needed, use git rebase --skip to drop it, but verify no important changes are lost

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Run git rebase --skip without resolving conflicts 70% fail

    Skips the problematic commit entirely, losing its changes; may lead to incomplete history.

  2. Edit the commit message to bypass the error 100% fail

    Conflict is in content, not message; editing message does nothing.

  3. Use git rebase --abort and start over with a different base 30% fail

    Aborts the entire rebase; user loses progress and must redo conflict resolution from scratch.
