Documented steps When a merge/rebase/pull reports conflicts, run `git status` to list 'both modified' (or unmerged) files. Open each conflicted file and locate `<<<<<<<`, `=======`, `>>>>>>>` markers; keep the correct side(s) and delete the markers. After editing, stage each resolved file: `git add <path>`. Finish a merge with `git commit` (default merge message, or `git merge --continue`). For a rebase, continue with `git rebase --continue`; verify no staged-for-commit files remain first (`git rebase --continue` refuses if there are). Abort and return to the pre-merge state anytime: `git merge --abort` or `git rebase --abort`. Known gotchas Conflict markers are <<<<<<< (ours, HEAD) … ======= … >>>>>>> (theirs, incoming) — know which side is which for your operation. `git merge --continue` and `git rebase --continue` are the correct ways to finish; plain `git commit` works for merges but not rebases. Use `git merge --abort` only if you want to fully discard the merge; otherwise resolve files then continue. Set a better merge driver or `merge.conflictStyle=zdiff3` for cleaner three-way conflict text on tricky files.
