Practical Application

A rebase workflow is:

1. Create a feature branch from main.

git checkout main
git branch feature
git checkout feature

1. Make and commit feature work.

git add .
git commit -m "Add feature functionality"

1. Allow main to receive newer commits through other work.
2. Return to feature.

git checkout feature

1. Rebase feature onto the updated main branch.

git rebase main

1. Inspect the result.

git log --oneline

The log should show the newer main commits followed by the replayed feature commits.
