rebase

SKILL.md

Rebase the current branch.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Behavior:

  • No arguments: rebase on local main
  • "origin": fetch origin, rebase on origin/main
  • "origin/branch": fetch origin, rebase on origin/branch
  • "branch": rebase on local branch

Steps:

  1. Parse arguments:
    • No args → target is "main", no fetch
    • Contains "/" (e.g., "origin/develop") → split into remote and branch, fetch remote, target is remote/branch
    • Just "origin" → fetch origin, target is "origin/main"
    • Anything else → target is that branch name, no fetch
  2. If fetching, run: git fetch <remote>
  3. Run: git rebase <target>
  4. If conflicts occur, handle them carefully (see below)
  5. Continue until rebase is complete

Handling conflicts:

  • BEFORE resolving any conflict, understand what changes were made to each conflicting file in the target branch
  • For each conflicting file, run git log -p -n 3 <target> -- <file> to see recent changes to that file in the target branch
  • The goal is to preserve BOTH the changes from the target branch AND our branch's changes
  • After resolving each conflict, stage the file and continue with git rebase --continue
  • If a conflict is too complex or unclear, ask for guidance before proceeding
