How to rebase in Git
Tuesday, November 4, 2025
Rebasing allows you to integrate changes from one branch into another while maintaining a linear commit history without merge commits.
As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, and with over 25 years of experience in software development, I’ve used rebasing extensively to keep feature branches up-to-date with main branch developments.
The most effective approach is using git rebase to replay your commits on top of the latest changes from the target branch.
This method creates a cleaner project history compared to merge commits and makes it easier to track the evolution of features.
