<div class="attribution">
</div></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>If &lt;branch&gt; is specified, <em>git rebase</em> will perform an automatic
<code>git checkout &lt;branch&gt;</code> before doing anything else.  Otherwise
it remains on the current branch.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If &lt;upstream&gt; is not specified, the upstream configured in
branch.&lt;name&gt;.remote and branch.&lt;name&gt;.merge options will be used; see
<a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> for details.  If you are currently not on any
branch or if the current branch does not have a configured upstream,
the rebase will abort.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>All changes made by commits in the current branch but that are not
in &lt;upstream&gt; are saved to a temporary area.  This is the same set
of commits that would be shown by <code>git log &lt;upstream&gt;..HEAD</code> (or
<code>git log HEAD</code>, if --root is specified).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The current branch is reset to &lt;upstream&gt;, or &lt;newbase&gt; if the
--onto option was supplied.  This has the exact same effect as
<code>git reset --hard &lt;upstream&gt;</code> (or &lt;newbase&gt;).  ORIG_HEAD is set
to point at the tip of the branch before the reset.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The commits that were previously saved into the temporary area are
then reapplied to the current branch, one by one, in order. Note that
any commits in HEAD which introduce the same textual changes as a commit
in HEAD..&lt;upstream&gt; are omitted (i.e., a patch already accepted upstream
with a different commit message or timestamp will be skipped).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>It is possible that a merge failure will prevent this process from being
completely automatic.  You will have to resolve any such merge failure
and run <code>git rebase --continue</code>.  Another option is to bypass the commit
that caused the merge failure with <code>git rebase --skip</code>.  To check out the
original &lt;branch&gt; and remove the .git/rebase-apply working files, use the
command <code>git rebase --abort</code> instead.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Assume the following history exists and the current branch is "topic":</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>          A---B---C topic
         /
    D---E---F---G master</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>From this point, the result of either of the following commands:</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git rebase master
git rebase master topic</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>would be:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>                  A'--B'--C' topic
                 /
    D---E---F---G master</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>NOTE:</strong> The latter form is just a short-hand of <code>git checkout topic</code>
followed by <code>git rebase master</code>. When rebase exits <code>topic</code> will
remain the checked-out branch.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If the upstream branch already contains a change you have made (e.g.,
because you mailed a patch which was applied upstream), then that commit
will be skipped. For example, running &#8216;git rebase master` on the
following history (in which A&#8217; and A introduce the same set of changes,
but have different committer information):</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>          A---B---C topic
         /
    D---E---A'---F master</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>will result in:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>                   B'---C' topic
                  /
    D---E---A'---F master</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Here is how you would transplant a topic branch based on one
branch to another, to pretend that you forked the topic branch
from the latter branch, using <code>rebase --onto</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>First let&#8217;s assume your <em>topic</em> is based on branch <em>next</em>.
For example, a feature developed in <em>topic</em> depends on some
functionality which is found in <em>next</em>.</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>    o---o---o---o---o  master
         \
          o---o---o---o---o  next
                           \
                            o---o---o  topic</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>We want to make <em>topic</em> forked from branch <em>master</em>; for example,
because the functionality on which <em>topic</em> depends was merged into the
more stable <em>master</em> branch. We want our tree to look like this:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>    o---o---o---o---o  master
        |            \
        |             o'--o'--o'  topic
         \
          o---o---o---o---o  next</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>We can get this using the following command:</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git rebase --onto master next topic</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Another example of --onto option is to rebase part of a
branch.  If we have the following situation:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>                            H---I---J topicB
                           /
                  E---F---G  topicA
                 /
    A---B---C---D  master</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>then the command</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git rebase --onto master topicA topicB</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>would result in:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>                 H'--I'--J'  topicB
                /
                | E---F---G  topicA
                |/
    A---B---C---D  master</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This is useful when topicB does not depend on topicA.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A range of commits could also be removed with rebase.  If we have
the following situation:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>    E---F---G---H---I---J  topicA</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>then the command</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git rebase --onto topicA~5 topicA~3 topicA</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>would result in the removal of commits F and G:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>    E---H'---I'---J'  topicA</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This is useful if F and G were flawed in some way, or should not be
part of topicA.  Note that the argument to --onto and the &lt;upstream&gt;
parameter can be any valid commit-ish.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In case of conflict, <em>git rebase</em> will stop at the first problematic commit
and leave conflict markers in the tree.  You can use <em>git diff</em> to locate
the markers (&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;) and make edits to resolve the conflict.  For each
file you edit, you need to tell Git that the conflict has been resolved,
typically this would be done with</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git add &lt;filename&gt;</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>After resolving the conflict manually and updating the index with the
desired resolution, you can continue the rebasing process with</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git rebase --continue</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Alternatively, you can undo the <em>git rebase</em> with</p></div>

        the reference tree for the 3-way merge.  This has been
        reported to result in fewer merge conflicts without
        causing mis-merges by tests done on actual merge commits
        taken from Linux 2.6 kernel development history.

        This is a modified recursive strategy. When merging trees A and

<div class="paragraph"><p>With the strategies that use 3-way merge (including the default, <em>recursive</em>),
if a change is made on both branches, but later reverted on one of the
branches, that change will be present in the merged result; some people find
this behavior confusing.  It occurs because only the heads and the merge base
are considered when performing a merge, not the individual commits.  The merge
algorithm therefore considers the reverted change as no change at all, and
substitutes the changed version instead.</p></div>

<h2 id="_recovering_from_upstream_rebase">RECOVERING FROM UPSTREAM REBASE</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Rebasing (or any other form of rewriting) a branch that others have
based work on is a bad idea: anyone downstream of it is forced to
manually fix their history.  This section explains how to do the fix
from the downstream&#8217;s point of view.  The real fix, however, would be
to avoid rebasing the upstream in the first place.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>To illustrate, suppose you are in a situation where someone develops a
<em>subsystem</em> branch, and you are working on a <em>topic</em> that is dependent
on this <em>subsystem</em>.  You might end up with a history like the
following:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>    o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o  master
         \
          o---o---o---o---o  subsystem
                           \
                            *---*---*  topic</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If <em>subsystem</em> is rebased against <em>master</em>, the following happens:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>    o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o  master
         \                       \
          o---o---o---o---o       o'--o'--o'--o'--o'  subsystem
                           \
                            *---*---*  topic</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If you now continue development as usual, and eventually merge <em>topic</em>
to <em>subsystem</em>, the commits from <em>subsystem</em> will remain duplicated forever:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>    o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o  master
         \                       \

</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Such duplicates are generally frowned upon because they clutter up
history, making it harder to follow.  To clean things up, you need to
transplant the commits on <em>topic</em> to the new <em>subsystem</em> tip, i.e.,
rebase <em>topic</em>.  This becomes a ripple effect: anyone downstream from
<em>topic</em> is forced to rebase too, and so on!</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>There are two kinds of fixes, discussed in the following subsections:</p></div>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
Easy case: The changes are literally the same.
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        This happens if the <em>subsystem</em> rebase was a simple rebase and
        had no conflicts.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
Hard case: The changes are not the same.
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        This happens if the <em>subsystem</em> rebase had conflicts, or used
        <code>--interactive</code> to omit, edit, squash, or fixup commits; or
        if the upstream used one of <code>commit --amend</code>, <code>reset</code>, or
        <code>filter-branch</code>.

<h3 id="_the_easy_case">The easy case</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Only works if the changes (patch IDs based on the diff contents) on

<div class="paragraph"><p>In that case, the fix is easy because <em>git rebase</em> knows to skip
changes that are already present in the new upstream.  So if you say

<div class="paragraph"><p>The idea is to manually tell <em>git rebase</em> "where the old <em>subsystem</em>
ended and your <em>topic</em> began", that is, what the old merge-base
between them was.  You will have to find a way to name the last commit
of the old <em>subsystem</em>, for example:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
With the <em>subsystem</em> reflog: after <em>git fetch</em>, the old tip of
  <em>subsystem</em> is at <code>subsystem@{1}</code>.  Subsequent fetches will
  increase the number.  (See <a href="git-reflog.html">git-reflog(1)</a>.)
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Relative to the tip of <em>topic</em>: knowing that your <em>topic</em> has three
  commits, the old tip of <em>subsystem</em> must be <code>topic~3</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can then transplant the old <code>subsystem..topic</code> to the new tip by
saying (for the reflog case, and assuming you are on <em>topic</em> already):</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>    $ git rebase --onto subsystem subsystem@{1}</code></pre>

<div class="paragraph"><p>The ripple effect of a "hard case" recovery is especially bad:
<em>everyone</em> downstream from <em>topic</em> will now have to perform a "hard
case" recovery too!</p></div>
