it return "error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge: pac-CodePudding

I wanted to edit the previous commit comments because they were not written properly, but when I ran the command:

git rebase -i --root

no matter what state I chose (or even if I didn't change anything, all the commits stayed in the pick state)

It always returns an error like this:

$ git rebase -i --root
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge:
        package-lock.json
Please move or remove them before you merge.

The file mentioned package-lock.json was accidentally committed to Git by my partner in the first commit, and I added it to .gitignore to untrack it in the second commit.

In this case, I was unable to complete a rebase at all and had to force abort it.

Although I know the reason for the error, I have absolutely no idea what I should do next to avoid this error.

When I searched for a solution, the results I got were completely different from my situation.
