git rebase merge conflict

Question

I forked a github repo and worked on my github repo.
I have made pull-requests and it was completed.

After that the upstream had some more commits so now I want to rebase, I guess thats what I have to do.
But I'm getting these merge conflicts:

First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: Issue 135 homepage refresh
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
<stdin>:17: trailing whitespace.
      %h4 
warning: 1 line adds whitespace errors.
Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...
Auto-merging app/views/layouts/application.html.haml
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in app/views/layouts/application.html.haml
Auto-merging app/views/home/index.html.haml
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in app/views/home/index.html.haml
Auto-merging app/views/home/_group_projects.html.haml
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in app/views/home/_group_projects.html.haml
Failed to merge in the changes.
Patch failed at 0001 Issue 135 homepage refresh

When you have resolved this problem run "git rebase --continue".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git rebase --skip".
To check out the original branch and stop rebasing run "git rebase --abort".

I don't know how to fix these, please help.

Rebasing can be a real headache. You have to resolve the merge conflicts and continue rebasing. For example you can use the merge tool (which differs depending on your settings)

git mergetool

Then add your changes and go on

git rebase --continue

Good luck
