Git Rebase

This lesson is part of Git · All levels

Summary

Rebase moves the commit range to the base of another branch so that the history looks linear and neat. The golden rule: don't revise commits that have already been shared with the public because it creates new commits with different hashes. Interactive rebase with git rebase -i allows rearranging, merging, or editing commits.

Key points

Rebase reattached the commit to the latest commit target
Don't rebase commits that have already been published.
Git rebase -i opens the editor to rearrange commit
Squash commands bring together several commits into one.
