Description

So I am struggling with how you would perform a rebase. I want to handle a case where a remote has changes pushed to it and I now want to rebase the commits that I already made, so I can push them.

I am rather unsure how the rebase function works and how to integrate incoming changes.

Can someone perhaps provide an example?

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue asks for an example of rebasing existing commits after a remote has changed, but it names no repository file, test, or entry point. A useful contribution would document the relevant rebase workflow with a concrete example and explain how completion is verified by successfully integrating the remote changes and pushing the rebased commits.
