Git - Rebasing

Given this commit history:

main: A --- B --- C
feature: A --- B --- D --- E

After running git rebase main on feature, what will the new commit history look like?

Amain: A --- B --- C<br>feature: A --- B --- C --- D' --- E'

Bmain: A --- B --- C<br>feature: D --- E

Cmain: A --- B --- C --- D --- E<br>feature: A --- B --- C --- D --- E

Dmain: A --- B --- C<br>feature: A --- B --- D --- E

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand rebase effect on commits
Rebasing feature onto main moves commits D and E to be based on C, replaying them as new commits D' and E'.
Step 2: Visualize new commit history
The main branch remains unchanged. The feature branch now appears as if commits D' and E' were made after C, creating a linear history.
Final Answer:
main: A --- B --- C
feature: A --- B --- C --- D' --- E' -> Option A
Quick Check:
Rebase = replay commits on main tip [OK]

Quick Trick: Rebase replays commits after target branch tip [OK]
