rebase-on-main

Perform a rebase workflow for the current branch:

Steps

1. Identify the main branch: Check if main or master exists as the default branch
2. Save current branch name: Store the current branch name for later
3. Fetch latest from origin: Run git fetch origin
4. Update main/master locally: Checkout main/master and pull latest changes
5. Return to feature branch: Checkout the original branch
6. Rebase on main/master: Run git rebase main (or master)
7. Handle conflicts if any:
   • If conflicts occur, analyze each conflicting file
   • Read the conflicting files to understand the context
   • Resolve conflicts intelligently by understanding both changes
   • Use git add to mark resolved files
   • Continue rebase with git rebase --continue
   • Repeat until all conflicts are resolved
8. Push changes: Force push with lease using git push --force-with-lease

Important Guidelines

• Always use --force-with-lease instead of --force for safety
• When resolving conflicts, prefer keeping functionality from both sides when possible
• If a conflict resolution is ambiguous, explain the choice made
• Report a summary of what was done at the end (commits rebased, conflicts resolved, etc.)
