Git Rebase replays commits from an active branch on top of another base tip, creating a linear history without merge commits.
Imagine building a house extension. You started on foundation design version 1. In version 2, the architect changed the layout. Instead of joining (merging) them, you lift your extension and build it directly on version 2.
Linearizes commit history before submitting pull requests.
Combines multiple tiny commits into a single commit.
Integrates main branch updates without adding merge commits.
Validate your conceptual understanding, operation mechanics, and core concepts of Rebase.
If you encounter merge conflicts during a rebase, fix the file, run 'git add', and continue using 'git rebase --continue'!
Git Rebase loaded. 'dev' branch commits C3, C4 branched off C1. Rebase onto 'main' to linearize history.
