   Understanding Git Rebase

   Git rebase is a command that helps integrate changes from one branch to another by changing the base of your branch. It differs from merge in that it provides a more streamlined, linear project history. Some benefits of git rebase include a cleaner project history, elimination of needless commits, and a more flexible workflow. However, it can be more complex and harder to understand for beginners and has the potential for conflicts. Git rebase is useful for cleaning up local commits, avoiding merge commits, integrating upstream changes, and collaborating on projects.
