Question

I was rebasing code in git, I got some merge conflicts. I resolved the conflicts and did:

git add

At this point I forgot to do:

git rebase --continue

I continued coding and did:

git commit

for the changes. Now I am on "no branch" and can’t do:

git rebase --continue 

How do I fix this?

I’d have to try it out, but I think this is what I would do:

1. Tag your latest commit (or just write down its SHA1 somewhere so you don’t lose it): git tag temp
2. git rebase --abort
3. Do the rebase again. You’ll have to resolve the merge again. 🙁
4. git rebase --continue
5. git cherry-pick temp

The problem with this is that your temp commit probably contains both the resolution of the merge, and the new code. So it could be tricky but I would try it and see if it works.
