fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories

This error message occurs when attempting to merge two branches with unrelated commit histories. It's a safety mechanism in Git to prevent accidental merging of unrelated code bases.

To resolve this error, you can add the `--allow-unrelated-histories` flag to your merge command. This flag tells Git to allow the merge even if the branches have unrelated histories.

For example, if you want to merge branch `feature` into branch `master`, you can use the following command:

git merge --allow-unrelated-histories feature

After executing this command, Git will attempt to merge the two branches regardless of their unrelated histories. However, you should review the changes carefully to ensure that the merge makes sense and doesn't introduce any conflicts.
