I work with too many tools to sit there and memorize the implementation of each of their functions should I be questioned. Either way, its a wasted effort memorizing that considering its all documented should I need to use it. I’ve probably read what was written on rebase at least once by now but I don’t work in shared repos and keep things pretty organized so I don’t need to use it. Documentation is easy to read after you’ve read enough of it like any other technical writing. It only takes a moment to consult it and know the ground truth.

No one said anything about the implementation of the function. Not understanding what rebase is and does would imply not understanding how git actually works. For example you mentioned that you know what git pull does. Are you aware that depending on the settings it is either doing a merge or a rebase? I also suspect that is the answer the OP was angling at.

  To me we are getting a bit away from the point and going into semantics. My point is and was that being tested on easily reference-able knowledge you are able to look up on the job to no penalty is a waste of everyone’s time, in contrast to the gp who stated failing such test in hiring would lead to perhaps not getting the job on account of it.
