Git - when to merge and rebase

http://www.derekgourlay.com/archives/428

" Rebases are how changes should pass from the top of hierarchy downwards and merges are how they flow back upwards. "

Rule of thumb:

• When pulling changes from origin/master onto your local branch, use rebase.
• When finishing a feature branch merge the changes back to develop.

Rebase

git pull --rebase

or

git fetch origin
git rebase -p origin/[master]

Merge

git checkout master
git merge [branch]

“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.”
