Complete Git Guide: Understand and Master Git and GitHub - Rebasing - Step 2

The video tutorial explains the process of merging a feature branch into the master branch using Git. It covers the steps of checking out the master branch, rebasing the feature branch on top of it, and performing a fast forward merge. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of a linear history and the conditions under which a fast forward merge is possible. It concludes with a recap of the commands used in the rebasing process and highlights the benefits of maintaining a clean commit history.

What is the first step before merging a feature branch into the master branch?

• Check out the master branch

• Commit all changes

• Create a new branch

• Delete the feature branch

What does rebasing a feature branch on top of the master branch achieve?

• Merges multiple branches

• Creates a linear history

• Creates a new branch

• Deletes old commits

Under what condition is a fast-forward merge possible?

• When there are no new commits on the master branch

• When the feature branch has multiple parents

• When the master branch is deleted

• When there are conflicts in the feature branch

What happens to old commits after rebasing if there are no pointers to them?

• They are archived

• They are garbage collected

• They are merged

• They are duplicated

What is the final outcome of a successful rebasing process?

• All branches are deleted

• The history is linear with no commits having more than one parent

• The history is non-linear

• A new branch is created
