SYNOPSIS

git-continue [options] [pathspecs]

PARAMETERS

--help
    Display usage information and exit.

--verbose
    Enable verbose output during continuation.

--dry-run
    Simulate continuation without applying changes.

DESCRIPTION

git-continue is not a core or standard subcommand in Git, the distributed version control system. It does not appear in official Git documentation or man pages across major Linux distributions. Instead, Git provides --continue flags on specific commands to resume interrupted operations after conflict resolution, such as during rebases, merges, or cherry-picks.

This may refer to a third-party script, alias, or extension (e.g., from git-extras, custom shell aliases, or tools like Continue.dev's CLI integrations). Common Git workflows mimicking 'continue' include:
git rebase --continue: Resumes rebase after fixing conflicts.
git merge --continue or git commit: Completes merge.
git cherry-pick --continue: Continues cherry-picking.

If installed via a package manager (e.g., npm, pip, or AUR), it might be an AI-assisted Git tool for auto-continuing tasks. Verify with which git-continue or man git-continue. Without installation, running it yields 'command not found'. Usage typically automates resuming Git sequences, but lacks universal support.

CAVEATS

Not a standard Git command; may require separate installation. Behavior varies by implementation. Always check Git status with git status before continuing to avoid data loss.

INSTALLATION CHECK

Search packages: apt search git-continue, dnf search git-continue, or pip search git-continue. May be part of VS Code extensions like Continue.dev.

ALTERNATIVES

Use native Git: git status to check state, then git <command> --continue.

HISTORY

No official history; possibly emerged in third-party Git extensions post-2015 (Git 2.x era). Related Git --continue flags date to Git 1.7.0 (2010) for rebase support.
