Using Git Rebase
Use Git rebase to maintain a clean commit history, especially when working on large projects or with multiple developers.
It helps to rewind your branch, apply changes from another branch, and then apply your new commits.

Scott's Git Workflow
Scott describes his Git workflow, where he creates draft pull requests and commits frequently.
He uses draft mode as a temporary space and only runs continuous integration when the pull request is ready for review.

Rebasing vs. Merging
Rebasing rewinds your branch and applies changes from the master branch before applying your commits.
This differs from merging, which simply tacks the master branch changes onto the end of your branch.

05:12 - Why and when to rebase?
git rebase -i is interactive
Rebase allows you to rewind your current branch, apply the changes of another branch to it, and then on top of that, apply your new commits.
Common uses:
Squash all commits into one or multiple commits
Reword commits
These lines can be re-ordered — they are executed from top to bottom.
p, pick = use commit
r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
f, fixup = like “squash”, but discard this commit’s log message
x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell
b, break = stop here (continue rebase later with ‘git rebase --continue’)
