git rebase moves commits one by one by Ciro Santilli 34 Updated Created
In order to solve conflicts, you just have to understand what commit you are trying to move where.
E.g. if from:
5 master
|
4 7 my-feature HEAD
| |
3 6
|/
2
|
1
we do:
git rebase master
what happens step by step is first 6 is moved on top of 5:
6on5 HEAD
|
5 master
|
4                 7 my-feature
|                 |
3                 6
|                 |
2-----------------+
|
1
and then 7 is moved on top of the new 6:
7on5 HEAD
|
6on5
|
5 master
|
4                 7 my-feature
|                 |
3                 6
|                 |
2-----------------+

All good? so OK, let's move the my-feature to the new 7:
7on5 my-feature HEAD
|
6on5
|
5 master
