This can happen when you’re rebasing many commits at once.

  1. Escape the rebase of doom:
    git rebase --abort

  2. Find the commit where your branch diverged from main:
    git merge-base main my-branch

  3. Squash all the commits in your branch together:
    git rebase -i $SHA_YOU_FOUND

  4. Rebase on main:
    git rebase main

person: alternatively, if you have 2 branches with many conflicting commits, you can just merge!
