I made a change in gerrit which was code reviewed and after 7 revisions approved. But, now it cannot be merged and trying to rebase in gerrit website is not working due to merge conflict. How can I resolve this merge conflict and merge the same approved change and not create a new one. (Full steps from cloning the repo would be appreciated.)
1) Clone the Gerrit repository
git clone https://USER@GERRIT-SERVER/a/REPO-FULL-PATHNAME
2) Go to the change page on Gerrit and copy the checkout patch command
git fetch https://USER@GERRIT-SERVER/a/REPO-FULL-PATHNAME refs/changes/XX/YYYYY/Z && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
3) Rebase the change
git rebase origin/BRANCH
4) Solve the conflicts
git mergetool
5) Continue the rebase
git rebase --continue
Repeat the steps 4 and 5 until the end of conflicts
git commit --amend
Note: Keep the same Change-Id
6) Send the new patchset to Gerrit
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/BRANCH
