Git - Rebasing

AUse <code>git rebase</code> to keep history linear and avoid merge commits

BUse <code>git merge</code> to preserve branch history and avoid rewriting commits

CUse <code>git rebase</code> and then merge to keep both histories

DUse <code>git cherry-pick</code> to manually apply commits

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand audit needs
Keeping a clear record means preserving all branch merge points and history.
Step 2: Compare merge and rebase for conflicts
Merge preserves history and avoids rewriting commits, reducing conflict complexity; rebase rewrites history and can cause conflicts.
Final Answer:
Use git merge to preserve branch history and avoid rewriting commits -> Option B
Quick Check:
Audit needs = merge to keep history [OK]

Quick Trick: Preserve history and audit: choose git merge [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Choosing rebase when audit needs full history
Mixing rebase and merge without clear purpose
Using cherry-pick for full branch integration
