FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Git Rebase vs Merge Reference covers interactive rebase, rebase --onto, the golden rule of shared branch rebasing, conflict resolution, and reflog recovery.
What affects the result most?
Golden rule of rebasing: never rebase shared branches — rewrites history, breaks collaborators. Interactive rebase: git rebase -i HEAD~N — squash, edit, reorder, drop commits. Rebase onto: git rebase --onto new-base old-base branch — transplants commits.
How should I use the result?
Use this tool to orient quickly to the concepts, field names, or values you are about to look up in a full specification or vendor documentation. It summarizes the common cases; the authoritative source remains whichever standard or vendor doc defines the values themselves.
