Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between git merge and git rebase?

git merge creates a new commit that combines two branches, preserving the complete history. git rebase replays your commits on top of another branch, creating a linear history. Use merge for shared branches and rebase for cleaning up local feature branches before merging.

How do I undo the last commit without losing changes?

Use git reset --soft HEAD~1. This undoes the last commit but keeps all changes staged. Use --mixed (default) to unstage them, or --hard to discard changes entirely (use with caution).
