git-imerge: Abort imerge operation, and return to the previous branch.
$ git-imerge remove && git checkout ${previous_branch}
try on your machine

This command consists of two parts: "git-imerge remove" and "git checkout ${previous_branch}".

  1. "git-imerge remove":

    • This command is using the "git-imerge" tool to remove the current incomplete or ongoing interactive rebase merge and return to the state before starting the merge process.
    • The "git-imerge" tool is used for managing interactive rebases involving multiple branches and simplifying the process of resolving conflicts during the rebase.
  2. "git checkout ${previous_branch}":

    • This command is used to switch to the branch specified by the variable "${previous_branch}".
    • The "git checkout" command allows you to switch between branches in the Git repository.
    • The "${previous_branch}" variable is expected to hold the name of the branch you were on before starting the interactive rebase merge.

In summary, this command first removes the ongoing interactive rebase merge using "git-imerge remove" and then switches back to the previous branch using "git checkout ${previous_branch}".
