Rebasing a Git branch
This tutorial explains the various steps you can take to rebase your local branch onto a remote master branch using the git fetch, git rebase, and git push commands.
Rebase local branch to remote master branch in Git
1. Get changes
We use the git fetch command to fetch all the changes from the remote repository.
pc@JOHN MINGW64 ~/Git (Branch1)
$ git fetch
remote: Enumerating objects: 3, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), 610 bytes | 3.00 KiB/s, done.

* [new branch] main -]]> origin/main
2. Make changes
We run git rebase the command to integrate the changes into our branch. The following example will rebase our current branch from the master branch.
pc@JOHN MINGW64 ~/Git (main)
$ git rebase main
When conflicts occur, use git add . the rebase command to resolve them. Do not git add. run the git commit command after the rebase command. After resolving the conflicts, use git rebase --continue to complete the process. If you want to abort the process after resolving the conflicts, use the git rebase --abort command.
3. Push changes to the remote repository
To upload content in the local repository, use the git push -f command, as shown in the following figure.
git push main HEAD -f
-fAny changes made by other developers in the remote repository will be overwritten. The following is a safer way to push changes to the remote repository.
git push --force-with-lease main HEAD
This command will not overwrite changes made by other developers in the remote repository.
Rebasing and merging are used to integrate changes from one branch into another. Rebasing is the process of updating a feature branch without disturbing the branch history, allowing for a cleaner commit history.
It is the opposite of git merge, which creates conflicting branches when sharing with others.
