Rebase

← Back to Branching and Merging

Linear history by replaying commits on top of the target branch. Creates new commit hashes for replayed commits. Produces a clean, linear history but rewrites history (never rebase shared/public branches).

Key Properties

  • Commit Replay
  • Linear History
  • History Rewriting

Related

  • Merge Commits (alternative: preserves history)
  • The DAG (rebase rewrites the graph)
