What you were trying to do (and why)

I wanted to update brew with brew update

What happened (include command output)

output a fatal error

Command output

licardo@LicardodeMacBook-Pro ~ % brew update

fatal: It seems that there is already a rebase-apply directory, and

I wonder if you are in the middle of another rebase.  If that is the

case, please try

    git rebase (--continue | --abort | --skip)

If that is not the case, please

    rm -fr ".git/rebase-apply"

and run me again.  I am stopping in case you still have something

valuable there.


Already up-to-date.

What you expected to happen

I do not want the error show up. I have tried running git rebase --abort and rm -fr ".git/rebase-apply", but it still shows up.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

[L1cardo]

solved by deleting /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask/.git/rebase-apply
This directory is difficult to find.

[mnich]

i find this folder "rebase-apply" use commend find / -name "rebase-apply"

[L1cardo]

@mnich thanks！but I wish I would never come across such error.

Instead of manually finding the rebase-apply directory, just run brew update-reset instead.

Found this from one of the contributors here.
