Git merge error :
Please enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary, especially if it merges an updated upstream into a topic branch
It’s not a Git error message, it’s the editor git uses your default editor.
To solve this:
- press “i”
- write your merge message
- press “esc”
- write “:wq”
- then press enter
If it helps anyone, the way you remember this is that “i” is for “insert”, “esc” is the exit the insertion, and “:wq” is just “write” and “quit”.
