I use rebase when I’m working in a dev branch. If someone else has pushed changes to the main branch, rebasing the dev branch on top of main is a way to do the hard work of resolving merge conflicts up front. Then I can rerun tests and make sure everything still works with changes from the main branch. And finally, when it is time to merge my dev branch to main, it’s a simple fast-forward.
I’ve had thumb key installed on my phone for quite a while but didn’t switch because it was missing some of messagease’s features. Maybe this subscription nonsense will be the push I need to make a permanent switch.
