FAQPage Schema
How do I rebase a feature branch onto master to sync changes?

Git rebase syncs a feature branch with master by applying your commits on top of the latest origin/master. This approach avoids merge commits, keeping project history linear and clean before opening a pull request.

What's the best way to prepare a feature branch before opening a PR?

The best way to prepare a feature branch for a PR is rebasing it onto the updated origin/master. This ensures your branch includes all recent remote changes and verifies the resulting history before submission.

How does guided conflict resolution work during a git rebase onto main?

Guided conflict resolution during a git rebase provides prompts and recovery steps when sync conflicts arise. It helps you safely navigate and resolve merge issues, ensuring the rebase completes without losing work.

When should I rebase my working branch instead of merging from master?

You should rebase your working branch instead of merging from master when you want to keep a linear commit history. Rebasing onto origin/master applies your local commits on top of remote changes, avoiding unnecessary merge commits.

Do I need to fetch origin/master before rebasing my local branch?

Yes, you need to fetch origin/master before rebasing. The sync process enforces prerequisites by fetching remote updates and updating your local master reference prior to rebasing the working branch.
