Rebasing commits

Rebasing in Git is a process that allows you to move or combine a sequence of commits to a new base commit. This can be particularly useful for integrating changes from one branch into another cleanly.

When to use rebasing:

• Updating feature branches: When your feature branch has fallen behind the main branch, you can rebase it onto the latest main branch to bring it up to date. This results in a linear commit history without merging commits.
• Cleaning up commit history: Before merging a feature branch into the main branch, you can use interactive rebasing to squash commits, reorder them, or edit commit messages, creating a more cohesive and readable commit history.
• Avoiding merge commits: When you want to incorporate changes from another branch without adding merge commits, rebasing can apply those changes directly to your branch.
