05:12 - Why and when to rebase?

  • git rebase -i\\xa0is interactive
  • Rebase allows you to rewind your current branch, apply the changes of another branch to it, and then on top of that, apply your new commits.
  • Common uses:
    • Squash all commits into one or multiple commits
    • Reword commits
  • These lines can be re-ordered \\u2014 they are executed from top to bottom.
    • p, pick = use commit
    • r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
    • e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
    • s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
    • f, fixup = like \\u201csquash\\u201d, but discard this commit\\u2019s log message
    • x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell
    • b, break = stop here (continue rebase later with \\u2018git rebase --continue\\u2019)
    • d, drop = remove commit
    • l, label
    • t, reset
    • m, merge [-C | -c ]
