**GitHub** is a widely-used platform widely that enables multiple collaborators to work on a particular task.

A merge is required to save progress on GitHub. However, sometimes, the merge will need to be *stopped* or *delayed* due to conflicts that can not be easily resolved or other reasons.

In such cases, the Git CLI helps users. 

# Solution
1. Open the **Command-Line Interface (CLI)**.
2. Check to see if all the processes have completed.
3. Type the following:

`git merge --abort`


This should successfully return the code to the state before the merge started. You can then make the relevant changes and merge them again.
