Git Rebase

• Refer Here for docs
• Git rebase is a command used to get changes from one branch onto another by rewriting history
• Consider the following situation where main has two commits after the sprint 0 branch was created
  
  
• Now we want the changes done in main branch to be part of sprint0 branch
• If we merge the changes from main into sprint 0
  
• If we rebase
  
• Rebase is useful for all the child branches but never rebase main/master from child as rebase rewrites history.
• To rebase checkout to sprint0 and rebase from main git rebase main
  
  
  
  

Git cherry pick

• If we need to pick specific commits or specific range of commits (sequence) of commits , cherry pick can be used
• Now consider the following
  
• we need the changes form commit id f3ae24b in main branch

• Now add this repository as remote to your local repository
  
• Now lets push the changes from local to remote git push <remote-name> <branch/tag name>
  
  
• Now lets see all the branches in the repo
  
• The branches in remote represent remote branches
• Now lets push the sprint 0 branch as well
  
• In Organizations we will already have some repositories, Now to get the changes from remote to local we perform clone. Lets clone spring pet clinic
