Git merge/rebase with strategy

I branched off the wrong branch in Git. How do I fix this?

git rebase --onto feature/XX-2 feature/XX-1 feature/XX-2-bkp

git submodule If you run this once, it ensures that when you pull you also get updates to any submodules in a repo:

git config --global submodule.recurse true

git pull even when you have made changes locally.

git config --global pull.rebase true

git config --global rebase.autoStash true

Ever run into the same conflict more than once?

you can turn on a feature where Git memorizes the conflict and the resolution to it.

git config --global rerere.enabled true
git config --global rerere.autoUpdate true

sort branches by last commit date descending

git config --global column.ui auto
git config --global branch.sort -committerdate

Safe Force Pushing

git push --force-with-lease
git config --global alias.fpush push --force-with-lease

Sign commits by default

git config gpg.format ssh
git config user.signingkey ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
