At the very least, merge is not the only game in town when it\ncomes to integrating other lines of work into a single timeline.  In\nmany situations, it may be most advantageous to do a <code>git rebase<\/code>\ninstead.  In this article, you\u2019ll learn about the rebase command, how\nit works, and when and why you may consider using it.\n<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"text-table-of-contents\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#git-rebase\">Git Rebase Instead of a Merge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#refs\">Commit References and Rebasing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#final\">The Final Product<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"outline-container-orge28f281\" class=\"outline-2\">\n<h2 id=\"git-rebase\">Git Rebase Instead of a Merge<\/h2>\n<div class=\"outline-text-2\" id=\"text-git-rebase\">\n<p>\nAs you may already know, Git allows for the creation of multiple\nbranches that diverge from a \u201cmaster\u201d branch.  On these divergent\nbranches, multiple changes, and iterations and commits may be made.\nThen those changes can be integrated into the master timeline.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nRemember, you can create as many divergent branches as you want and\nuse any naming convention you want, because all of the various named\nbranches are merely reference pointers to certain commits.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nA <code>git rebase<\/code> will take your most recent commit on a divergent branch\nand place it one commit ahead of the commit referenced on the master\nbranch.  Let\u2019s see how that works below.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"outline-container-org7c86e09\" class=\"outline-2\">\n<h2 id=\"refs\">Commit References and Rebasing<\/h2>\n<div class=\"outline-text-2\" id=\"text-refs\">\n<p>\nIn the below example, notice that the Greek letters represent commits:\nalpha (\u03b1), beta (\u03b2), and gamma (\u03b3)\u2014in a linear\nsequence.  The \u201cmaster\u201d reference is pointing to gamma, the most\nrecent commit on that branch.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n\u03b1 \u2192 \u03b2 \u2192 \u03b3 [master]\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nLet\u2019s imagine a branch called \u201ctest\u201d diverts from gamma and continues\nwith a commit named lambda (\u03bb).\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n\u03bb \u2192 \u03bc \u2192 \u03bd [test]\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nThis series of commits then proceeds from lambda to mu (\u03bc) to nu\n(\u03bd).  The reference marker, [test], is pointing to the most recent\ncommit, which is \u03bd.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nWith different branches diverging from the master, the timeline can\nstart to get messy.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nA <code>git rebase<\/code> allows you to integrate all of these changes, which\nwere happening in parallel branches, into a single master timeline.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nFist, checkout the [test] branch.\n<\/p>\n\n<pre>git checkout test<\/pre>\n\n<p>\nThen <code>rebase<\/code> [test] <i>onto<\/i> [master].\n<\/p>\n\n<pre>git rebase master<\/pre>\n\n<p>\nNow, your timeline will look like this:\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n\u03b1 \u2192 \u03b2 \u2192 \u03b3 [master] \u2192 \u03bd [test]\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nNotice now that [test] sits one commit ahead of [master], but they are\non the same timeline; they share the same history.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"outline-container-org19d8fa3\" class=\"outline-2\">\n<h2 id=\"final\">The Final Product<\/h2>\n<div class=\"outline-text-2\" id=\"text-final\">\n<p>\nAll you need to do now is \u201cfast-forward\u201d [master] to meet [test] on\nthe timeline.  First, you will check out [master].\n<\/p>\n\n<pre>git checkout master<\/pre>\n\n<p>\nFollowed by a standard merge of the [test] branch:\n<\/p>\n\n<pre>git merge test<\/pre>\n\n<p>\nNow we have [master] and [test] referencing the same commit.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n\u03b1 \u2192 \u03b2 \u2192 \u03b3 \u2192 \u03bd [test] [master]\n<\/p>\n\n<p rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\nSo, for example, if you were to push the master branch to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/git\/setting-up-your-remote-repository-with-git\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">remote\nrepository<\/a>, it looks as though all the work up to the current point\nwas done in a linear sequence rather than in parallel branches:\n<\/p>\n\n<center>\n<p>\n\u03b1 \u2192 \u03b2 \u2192 \u03b3 \u2192 \u03bd\n<\/p>\n<\/center>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p>\nBe sure to check out some other Git-related articles in the Support Center:\n<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/git\/git-fundamentals-complete-beginner-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Git fundamentals (complete guide)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/git\/git-server\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to create your own git server<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/git\/gitweb-on-nginx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Launch a Gitweb installation with NGINX on Debian<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4309],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-git"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Git Rebase and How It Works | InMotion Hosting<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Git rebase, as opposed to merge, lets you maintain a singular timeline across commits for your project.
