Git Rebase – Explained Like You’re New to Git

If git merge feels messy and your history looks like spaghetti, git rebase might be what you need.

In this post, I explain rebase in plain English with:

• A simple everyday analogy
• Step-by-step example
• When to use it (and when NOT to)

Perfect if you’ve been told “just rebase before your PR” but never really understood what’s happening.
