Merging Branches with Git Rebase
When merging branches, the most direct way we can use is to git merge.
However, with git-merge, the commit history and graph will be messy if there are a lot of branches.
We can also use git rebase to merge branches to make the commit history cleaner.
Suppose we have a feat branch and master branch, and they share a common base commit.
-----A------B----C------D(master)
\
\---E---F (feat)
To merge the two branches using git-rebase, run the following command:
git checkout feat
git rebase -i master
Note that after running the above step, we may get merge conflict.
We need to fix the conflict, then use git add some_file to mark that conflict for some_file has been resolved.
Use git rebase --continue to fix conflict in other files,
or finish the rebasing process (when there is no conflict anymore).
After the above step, we have the following commit graph:
(master)
---A------C------D------E'---F'(feat)
In order to move master to tip of the commit, we can run the following command:
git checkout master
git merge --ff feat
The -ff option for git-merge will ascend the master to the same commit as the feat branch.
---A------C------D------E'---F'(feat)
\
\(master)
To delete the feat branch, run the following command:
git branch -d feat
Now, you have succeed in merging the two branches using git rebasing.
