Write down a sequence of git commands for a “Rebase Workflow”

Rebasing replays changes from one line of work onto another in the order they were introduced, whereas merging takes the endpoints and merges them together.

1. Create a feature branch

$ git checkout -b feature

2. Make changes on the feature branch

$ echo "Bam!" >>foo.md
$ git add foo.md
$ git commit -m 'Added awesome comment'

3. Fetch upstream repository

$ git fetch upstream

4. Rebase changes from feature branch onto upstream/master

$ git rebase upstream/master

5.Rebase local master onto feature branch

$ git checkout master
$ git rebase feature

6. Push local master to upstream

$ git push upstream master

Rebasing gives you a clean linear commit history and creates non-obvious benefits to your project if used diligently. Think of it as taking a line of work and pretending it always started at the very latest revision.
