Overview
git rebase reapplies commits on top of another base tip, removing the original commits. For more details on how rebasing works, and some concrete examples, see:
Options
--onto
git rebase --onto <newbase>
Starting point at which to create the new commits. If the --onto option is not specified, the starting point is <upstream> (what does that mean?). It may be any valid commit, not just an existing branch name.
--fork-point
The option that allows specifying the ancestor commit after which all commits will be rebased. Normally, this is implicitly calculated by git with:
git merge-base --fork-point <upstream> <branch>
command. If fork-point ends up being empty as result of this command, <upstream> will be used as fallback.
"fatal: No such ref:" Error
In situations like this one:
git rebase --onto develop --fork-point 17f3781e6b3cb13653b1116fe8e8823a172bc502 fatal: No such ref: '17f3781e6b3cb13653b1116fe8e8823a172bc502'
you can get around by specifying the fork point not as a hash, but as a tag.
-i
Interactive rebase.
To include a specific number of commits, going back from HEAD, use HEAD~count
rebase -i HEAD~10
To include all the commits from HEAD to, but excluding a specific commit, use:
rebase -i <commit-sha-of-the-first-commit-NOT-to-be-included>
