Difference Between Rebasing and Merging

git merge and git rebase are often used for very similar tasks. These commands are used to alter commit histories of branches and integrate one branch with another.

What is the difference between rebasing and merging?

The significant differences to note between the two operations are as follows:

• Merging results in a new merge commit for the branch with which another is merged.
• Rebasing doesn’t result in any new commits. It updates the rebased branch’s commit history to look like it was taken out from a more recent version of the parent branch.
