A fantastic feature of working with Git is the possibility it offers to work in a team or alone in parallel on different parts of a project. Everyone can make changes, fix problems and then make the knowledge gained usable again for the big picture. This works using local repositories and through the use of branches. In these, you can work autonomously on a change and initially apply no changes to the rest of the project. However, if you then want to integrate the changes from one branch into another, the version control system offers two options.
Git merge and Git rebase are both suitable for merging, but they also differ significantly from each other. Git rebase is considered the more sophisticated solution. This Git command moves a set of commits into a new base commit. This changes the base of that commit, and an entire branch is moved to the top of another branch in the process. To do this, Git rebase rewrites the history of the project as new commits are created for the commits in the original branch. Git rebase distinguishes between a manual and an interactive approach.
