I do too, except in cases where it’s being used simply as a more complicated UI for `git merge --squash` and there’s no actual “generate a diff and apply it to a different base commit” going on.
- paulddraper 3y agoI think we have a rose by any other name situation. I call that a rebase.
- Dylan16807 3y agoThat's a badly fitting analogy because there's only one type of flower involved. In this situation, they're saying that most things you might do with "rebase -i" are rebases, except for one. I'll make a math analogy. Technically a rectangle is a trapezoid, but if someone says tries to draw a distinction between rectangles and proper trapezoids, it's not hard to figure out what they mean. When rebase -i outputs a single commit, that's a degenerate case. There are statements about rebases that are generally true but not true for that specific kind.
