not if 'never rebase, it is a trick of the devil' is part of the Dogma and adhered to.
I'm being a little silly; but a team I worked on moved from P4 -> Git. It was an older develoepr base, so they wrote 1:1 translation wrappers for most P4 commands to git, and forced all developers to use them. Banning Rebase (in private branches, not even main) was one of the requirements to not break the wrappers.
- mbork_pl 3y agoWhile the idea of writing such wrappers is pretty nice, they still missed out. Rebasing is incredibly useful.
- w0m 2y agoMy general consensus on the practice is that it prevents the developers from learning Git. Short-term gain for long-term ignorance. I'm much more a fan of "Learn the tool upfront and reap the benefits", don't handicap the organization from the start.
- eddd-ddde 3y agoInteresting, one of my personal dogmas is "never merge, always rebase". I can't handle my branches bifurcating into the past.
