Rebase

Part of the Full Stack 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.
