> After rebasing you still have to merge your branch anyway, either fast-forward or with an explicit merge commit You can push directly to the target branch. git push origin my-branch:master If your branch is a direct continuation of master -- which is often the desired result of rebasing -- then no merge and no force-push are necessary. (I'm not saying this is a good workflow, btw.)
