TopicsRebase
Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap.
Summary
`git rebase` replays your branch's commits on top of another branch's latest history, producing a cleaner, linear history than a merge would.
How to Learn This
- 1Rebase a feature branch onto an updated `main` and compare the log to a merge.
- 2Learn the golden rule: never rebase commits that have already been pushed and shared.
- 3Practice an interactive rebase (`git rebase -i`) to squash a few commits together.
