When should I use git rebase?

When should I use git rebase instead of git merge?

You should use git rebase when you want to maintain a clean, linear project history. It’s great for integrating changes from one branch into another without creating a merge commit.

What are the advantages of using rebase?

The advantages include a cleaner commit history, easier to understand project history, and the ability to resolve conflicts in a more straightforward manner.

Are there any situations where I should avoid using rebase?

Yes, avoid using rebase on public branches that others are working on, as it rewrites history and can cause confusion.

Can you give me an example of how to perform a rebase?

Sure! You can perform a rebase by checking out the branch you want to rebase and running git rebase <base-branch>. This will apply your changes on top of the base branch.
