git pull --rebase - Today I learned

So I’m one of those developers who prefer rebasing instead of merging to keep a nice linear commits history.

Whenever I’ve got rejected on pushing branch to remote (eg. because someone meanwhile introduced new changes) I have been using first git fetch followed by git rebase origin/the-branch to put my changes on top of everything. Recently I discovered that there is easier way, it’s: git pull --rebase.

In short it does excatcly what it’s done with two mentioned. So instead:

git fetch
git rebase origin/the-branch

I’m using:

git pull --rebase
