Rebase Merge conflicts

Create a repo:

mkdir pristine && cd pristine
git init

Create a new file "test.txt" with the following content:
"the brown dog jumped over the lazy fox"

git add test.txt
git commit -m "initial commit"

Do some work on a feature branch

git checkout -b feature

edit the test.txt and make the content:
"the purple dog jumped over the lazy fox"

git add test.txt
git commit -m "brown is out of style"

Simulate someone else doing work but making a conflicting commit on master

git checkout master

edit the test.txt to make the content:
"the brown dog jumped over the lazy turtle"

git add test.txt
git commit -m "brown is out of style"

Now back to your feature, rebase on top of master and you'll have a Merge!

git checkout feature
git rebase master

Handle the merge

git mergetool test.txt
git rebase --continue
