Git · Middle · Question 64 of 75

What is the safest way to bring the latest `main` into a branch that others also push to?

1Delete it and recreate it from main
2Rebase it on main and force-push
✓Correct answer: Merge main into it instead of rebasing

Explanation

Merge doesn't rewrite existing commits, so collaborators can keep pulling normally. Rebase is great for private branches, not shared ones.
