Even Easier Git Rebasing

Rebasing your feature branch on main regularly is a good idea.

I used to do it like this:

# update local copy of main
git fetch origin main:main

# rebase on local main
git rebase main

This always felt a litle off because I was worried I’d typo main:main and mess it up.

This works just as well and feels much better to me:

# update local copy of `origin/main`
git fetch

# rebase on origin/main
git rebase origin/main
