Which of the following is the correct syntax to rebase the current branch onto main?
Agit rebase main
Bgit merge main
Cgit rebase origin/main
Dgit checkout main && git rebase
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Identify the command to rebase current branch

    The command git rebase main rebases the current branch onto the main branch.

  2. Step 2: Check other options for correctness

    git merge main merges, not rebases; git rebase origin/main rebases onto remote tracking branch which may be outdated; git checkout main && git rebase is invalid syntax.

  3. Final Answer:

    git rebase main -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Rebase current branch onto main = git rebase main [OK]
Quick Trick: Use 'git rebase branch-name' to rebase current branch [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using merge instead of rebase
  • Rebasing onto remote branch without fetching
  • Incorrect chaining of commands
