Rebase like a boss
Nick Quaranto on why you should rebase instead of merge when using Git:
Everyone who loves Git hopefully loves branching. However, there’s a problem with branching: merging your work back in. Suprisingly enough, Git’s inflexibility makes this action quite simple. It’s my opinion that Git users should be branching frequently, and rebasing them back into the mainline when ready.
This is my basic philosophy when using Git: the cleaner you keep your history graph, the better.

Rein Henrichs does a great job explaining an agile git workflow for teams, and I found it to be very helpful, even for my 1-person projects (e.g. this site). I’ve always been a little confused as to when I should rebase and when I should merge, but after reading through this, it makes a little more sense now.
