Rebase via console

This tutorial covers how to Rebase a branch that is outdated from the develop branch in a Gitpod workspace

Rebase

To update the branch to the latest changes in develop you can import the changes with a rebase

In a terminal in the Gitpod workspace of the outdated branch execute the next command:

git rebase origin/develop

Solve conflicts

Solve conflicts if any.

You can check the status of the conflicts with the next command:

git status

Push changes

You can push the changes with the git tab in the Gitpod workspace or with this command:

git push --force

To see the changes restart the branch in a new Gitpod workspace
