No one likes conflits. But we should not be scared of resolving them. Git provide us wit a merging tool which will be triggered if there are changes on same lines form different sources. Or when on line was deleted in first src and added in another. Marge conflict can accrue during: merge, rebase, pull, stash apply, cherry-pick commands.
To abort git merge use:
# for merge conflicts use
git merge --abort
# for rebase conflicts use
git rebase --abort

There are many free and paid extension available ( opendiff, kdiff3, tkdiff, xxdiff, meld, tortoisemerge, gvimdiff, diffuse, diffmerge, ecmerge, p4merge, araxis, bc, codecompare, smerge, emerge, vimdiff, nvimdiff ):
