Description: A rebase operation is the act of applying commits from one branch to another, rewriting the commit history in the process. This technique is commonly used in version control systems, where it allows for a cleaner and more linear integration of changes from one branch into another. Unlike merging, which creates a new commit that combines two branches, rebase takes the commits from the source branch and applies them on top of the target branch, resulting in a more organized and easier-to-follow history. Rebase can be interactive, allowing the user to modify, combine, or delete commits during the process. This operation is particularly useful for maintaining a cleaner and more understandable commit history, facilitating change review and collaboration in development projects. However, caution is advised when using rebase on shared branches, as it can lead to conflicts if other developers have based their work on the commits being rewritten.
