git github merge react JavaScript

I'm attempting to set up I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm currently working on a project using React (v17.0.2) and Node.js (v14.17.0) and I'm having trouble merging a pull request that has several conflicting files. I've followed the typical process, but when I attempt to merge, I get this behavior message: ``` behavior: Pull request want to be merged due to conflicts. ``` The PR contains changes in the `src/components/Header.js` file and the `src/utils/helpers.js` file, which both conflict with the main branch. I've already pulled the latest changes from the main branch into my feature branch, resolving the conflicts locally using the following commands: ```bash git checkout my-feature-branch git pull origin main ``` Then I used a tool to resolve the conflicts in the files, and I staged the changes: ```bash git add src/components/Header.js src/utils/helpers.js git commit -m 'Resolved merge conflicts in Header and helpers' ``` After committing, I pushed the changes back to the remote repository with: ```bash git push origin my-feature-branch ``` However, when I try to merge the pull request again on GitHub, I'm still seeing the same behavior. I've checked for any other branches that may have conflicting changes, but it seems that my local and remote branches are in sync. Is there something I might be missing, or is there a specific configuration that might be preventing the merge? I've also checked the merge settings in the repository, and it allows merging pull requests with conflicts. Any help would be appreciated! I've been using Javascript for about a year now. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? My team is using Javascript for this microservice. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
