how would you describe what "git rebase" does in one or two short sentences? Assuming there's already an appropriate diagram you can point to

(I'm doing a small side project around git rebase this week)

(1/?)

if you use git rebase, have you ever used `git rebase --onto`?

(2/?)

In git, have you ever used `ORIG_HEAD`?

(3/?)

If you use git rebase, have you ever run `git rebase` without any arguments? (just `git rebase` on its own, not `git rebase main` or anything)

(4/?)

If you use git rebase, have you ever run `git rebase branch otherbranch`? (which is shorthand for `git checkout otherbranch; git rebase branch` )

(5/?)

Follow

@b0rk This is very useful for large projects because unlike the long form it doesn't "disturb" files that changed between HEAD and otherbranch (due to otherbranch being out of date), which makes incremental rebuilds faster.
