git rebase

git rebase -i HEAD

what is git rebase

the rebase command integrates changes from one branch into
another. It is an alternative to the better known "merge" 
command. Most visibly, rebase differs from merge by rewriting
the commit history in order to produce a straight,
linear succession of commits.

git rebase

git checkout -b child
git commit
git checkout master
git commit
git checkout child
git rebase master

git rebase

Generally, it is an alternative of git merge command. Merge is always a forward changing record. Comparatively, rebase is a compelling history rewriting tool in git. It merges the different commits one by one.

git rebase

$ git rebase --onto master server client

git rebase

git rebase <basebranch> <topicbranch>

git rebase

git rebase -i --root
git rebase -i HEAD~3

git rebase i

git rebase -i -branch  
#  opens interactive rebase interface (more instructions needed 
#  to work with rebase) -i HEAD~3 #this is selecting 3x commits 
#  from the head (can change based on rebase)

git rebase

# To, e.g, update my feature-branch with new master's commits:

git checkout master
# My master --> into --> my feature
git rebase my-feature
