Does git rebase affect other branches?
Does git rebase
affect other branches?
Yes, git rebase
can affect other branches, but only if you rebase a branch that other developers have already pulled and started working from. Rebasing a local, unshared branch has no impact on other branches in the repository.
The key to understanding this lies in how rebase
works. It rewrites the commit history of a branch by moving its commits to a new base. When you run git rebase
, you're essentially creating a new set of commits that replace the original ones.
