git rebase

Reapplies commits on top of another base tip, creating a linear history.

Syntax

git rebase [<options>] [<upstream> [<branch>]]

Options

-i / --interactive: Opens an editor to reorder, squash, edit, or drop commits
--onto <newbase>: Rebases onto a specific base instead of the upstream
--abort: Aborts the rebase and returns to the original branch state
--continue: Continues after resolving conflicts
--skip: Skips the current patch and continues
--autosquash: Automatically applies fixup! and squash! commits

Example

git rebase main
git rebase -i HEAD~3
git rebase --onto main feature/old feature/new

Tip

Never rebase commits that have been pushed to a shared repository.
