advanced patterns with git rebase and merge conflicts in a multi-branch workflow
I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm experiencing an scenario with `git rebase` that leads to unexpected merge conflicts, and I'm not sure how to resolve them effectively. I have a feature branch called `feature/new-ui` that I created off the `develop` branch. I made several commits on this feature branch, and during the rebase onto the latest `develop`, I encountered conflicts that seem unnecessary. Here’s a simplified version of my commit history: ``` * 9fbc5e2 (HEAD -> feature/new-ui) Add button styles * 4c2a1a7 Update layout for new design * 2f3cbd1 (origin/develop, develop) Fix header alignment * 1a2b3c4 Add responsive typography * 5d6e7f8 Initial commit ``` When I run `git fetch origin` followed by `git rebase origin/develop`, I see conflicts in files that I haven’t touched, specifically `src/styles/global.css`. The output I get is: ``` CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in src/styles/global.css Automatic rebase failed; fix conflicts and then run "git rebase --continue". ``` I attempted to resolve the conflicts manually, but after doing so and running `git rebase --continue`, I encountered another conflict in `src/components/Button.js`, again involving code that I haven't modified. This is frustrating because it makes me question whether my local branch is consistent with the remote. I've also tried running `git status` and `git log` to examine the state of my branch, which appears clean, but the conflicts keep arising. Additionally, I’ve made sure my local `develop` branch is up to date with `git pull origin develop`. Is there a way to handle this situation better, or is there something I might be missing in my workflow that could lead to these conflicts during a rebase? I'm working on a application that needs to handle this. Is there a better approach?
