A sample of git rebase

Assumption

• Sample branches’ status

            /--- commit1--- commit2     `feature-1`
           /
*----*----*    `develop`
           \
            \--- commitA --- commitB    `feature-A`

• The changes in feature-1 and feature-A have no conflicts

Do a rebase

Case 1: On feature-A, rebase feature-1

$ git checkout feature-A
$ git rebase feature-1

First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it…
Applying: commitA
Applying: commitB

• Then the commit history will look like this:

                                     /--- commitA --- commitB   `feature-A `
                                    /
            /--- commit1--- commit2   `feature-1`
           /
*----*----*   `develop`                   

Case 2: On feature-1, rebase feature-A

$ git checkout feature-1
$ git rebase feature-A

First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it…
Applying: commit1
Applying: commit2

• Then the commit history will look like this:

                                     /--- commit1 --- commit2   `feature-1 `
                                    /
            /--- commitA--- commitB   `feature-A`
           /
*----*----*   `develop`
