# develop   → latest delivered development changes
# feature/* → new features (branched from develop)
# release/* → release preparation (branched from develop)
# hotfix/*  → urgent production fixes (branched from main)

# Initialize git-flow (interactive setup)
git flow init

# Finish a feature (merges to develop, deletes branch)

# Creates release/1.2.0 from develop

# Finish a release (merges to main AND develop, tags)

# GitHub Flow: only main + feature branches
# 1. Create branch from main
git checkout main

# 2. Commit changes
git add .

# 3. Push to remote
git push -u origin feature/add-login

# 5. Review, discuss, get approval
# 6. Merge to main (via GitHub UI or CLI)
git checkout main
git pull origin main

git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL/project.git

# 4. Keep your fork updated
git fetch upstream

# 5. Create feature branch
git checkout -b feature/my-contribution

# 6. Push to YOUR fork

# Rebase last 5 commits interactively

# pick a1b2c3d First commit
# pick e4f5g6h Second commit
# pick i7j8k9l Third commit
# pick m0n1o2p Fourth commit
# pick q3r4s5t Fifth commit

# Commands:
# pick   = use commit as-is
# reword = use commit, edit message
# edit   = pause to amend the commit
# squash = combine with previous commit
# fixup  = like squash, discard this message
# drop   = remove commit entirely
# exec   = run a shell command
# reorder = move lines to reorder commits

# Squash the last 3 commits into one
git rebase -i HEAD~3

# In editor, change:
# pick a1b2c3d First
# squash e4f5g6h Second  (or 'fixup' to discard message)
# squash i7j8k9l Third

# Git prompts for combined commit message

# Squash everything since branching from main

# Auto-squash fixup commits
git commit --fixup a1b2c3d  # creates fixup! commit

# * main commit

# REBASE: linear history, no merge commits
git checkout feature
git rebase main
git checkout main
git merge feature  # fast-forward, no merge commit
# History is linear:
# * feature commit 2
# * feature commit 1
# * main commit

# When to use each:
# Merge: preserve context of feature branch, public repos
# Rebase: clean linear history, before pushing feature branch

# During rebase, conflicts pause the process

# 1. Resolve conflicts manually in the file

# Use a merge tool for conflicts

# Scenario: feature branch was based on old-branch,
# but you want to rebase onto main instead

# git rebase --onto new-base old-base branch
git rebase --onto main old-branch feature

# This takes commits from old-branch..feature

# Use case: remove commits from the middle
# Remove commit C from branch (replay A,B,D onto base)
