![]() ![]() My yellow pikmin (commit 7783be6) could not be applied on top of master (blue pikmin). ![]() I only have one commit and I want to keep it, so I just :wq my changes in and then the rebase process continues. I also have this PR live for you to view: So we are rebasing my commit ( 7783be6-the yellow pikmin) onto the latest master commit, e1db8b2 (the blue pikmin). So in the screenshot above, e1db8b2 is what's currently in master as shown below. It also shows the latest commit that was pulled in. I'm then thrown into vim, which shows my single commit, 7783be6. switch back to my local development branch.switch to (my local) master branch (this is the branch I want to target my PR against).Since my local repo is out of date with the upstream repo, I: Because of this, I pretty much always use git rebase when developing. Rebasing puts your commits right on top of someone else's up-to-date commits. I have found it much easier to visualize each commit as a consumable piece of code developed by someone. And if you have to do several merges over time, it's just kind of messy. You can do a git pull and git merge here, but many repos will have you rebase onto a branch before accepting a PR. In other words, before I make a pull request, I want to make sure I have the latest code produced by someone else. But it’s been a few weeks since I pulled in any upstream changes, so now I want to rebase my changes into the latest code produced in the tccutil repo. Now back to the example: I haven’t pushed my branch yet, and everything is local to my machine right now. you can rearrange pikmin to any order you need.you can rearrange commits to any order you need.you can modify each pikmin to do something else if you need.you can modify each commit to do something else if you need.each pikmin is unique and does a unique thing.each commit is unique and does a unique thing.This is a friendly way to help conceptualize commits it's why I wrote the first blog post-to help conceptualize that: I now have a unique commit that does a unique thing (this is the Pikmin in the analogy as you can see in the image below). It’s a one line change so this is a perfect example to show how merge conflicts can happen and how to fix them. In this example, I want to bump the version of a file in the tccutil repo because of a change I’ve made. Let’s start a small example so you can see how conflicts can occur and then how to fix them. But hopefully, these adorable Pikmin can help you traverse the minefield. Throw in different branches, different merge strategies, and the different complexities of coding in general. This increases the likelihood for conflicts. There’s a good chance you will be working on the same files, at the same time or your work lags behind what the open source project is doing. Git rebase is a real treat when there are no conflicts, but that’s often not the case when you’re working on a fast-moving development team or contributing to an open source project. ![]() That post covers the basics, while this one will conceptualize how to use git rebase when things go bad: conflicts, force pushing, and working with a lot of development churn. If you haven’t already, take a look at my first git rebase / Pikmin blog post about how to learn and use git rebase. ![]()
