git rebase -i is not that scary
TL;DR
Many developers fear using the git rebase -i command, despite its simplicity. By understanding that it merely opens a text file for editing, developers can overcome this apprehension.
✦ Why It Matters
Set your preferred text editor in git to reduce anxiety when using git rebase -i.
Key Takeaways
- Run 'git rebase -i HEAD~4' to start interactive rebasing.
- Use 'git rebase --abort' to cancel a rebase at any time.
- Resolve conflicts one commit at a time for easier management.
- Create a backup branch before rebasing for added safety.
How It Works
When you initiate 'git rebase -i', Git opens a text file where you can specify how to handle each commit. You can choose to keep, modify, or remove commits, allowing for a tailored commit history.
This process does not alter existing commits but creates new ones, ensuring that the original commits remain intact until garbage collection occurs.
