Compare git merge vs git rebase

Git & GitHub

Technical Specification

Create two branches, make separate commits, and then once integrate using merge, and another time using rebase to see the difference in history.

Input/Output Samples

Input:log after merge vs rebase

Output:one has merge node, other is linear

Optimal Logic Path

# from feature branch
git rebase main

# or from main
git merge feature/navbar

Architectural Deep-Dive

Merge keeps all history with a branch structure; rebase rewrites commits to create linear history.
