A walkthrough of using Magit (the Emacs git interface) for rebasing, highlighting its interactive git log, discoverability through contextual hints, and efficiency. The post demonstrates how to switch branches and rebase using short key sequences, how to inspect the underlying git commands Magit executes (including lesser-known flags like --autostash and --force-with-lease), and argues that Magit's transparency actually teaches users more about git rather than abstracting it away.
