I sometimes prefer to work in a terminal. I use git, and sometimes have merge conflicts. Are there any merge-conflict-resolution tools that work in a command-line only environment?

From the manpage of "git mergetool":

Use the merge resolution program specified by . Valid merge tools are: kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, diffuse, tortoisemerge, opendiff, p4merge and araxis.

Out of these, I know that emerge and vimdiff are command-line only. Although it is not listed, emacs' ediff can also be used as a mergetool. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1817370/using-ediff-as-git-mergetool

I personally find that graphical tools such as meld makes things much easier.
