gg rebase

Rebase the current stack onto an updated branch.

gg rebase [TARGET]
  • If TARGET is omitted, git-gud uses the stack base branch.

Options

  • -f, --force (alias --ignore-immutable): Override the immutability guard. Rebase rewrites the parent of every commit in the stack; merged commits (including squash-merged PRs) and commits already reachable from origin/<base> are silently skipped — git rebase drops them automatically via patch-id matching, so --force is not required for these. See Core concepts · Immutable commits.

Examples

# Rebase onto configured base
gg rebase

# Rebase onto specific branch
gg rebase main
