I am trying to learn git on my own. I have setup our own server for git using https and have cloned this repository and have done pushes and pulls with no problem. I am trying to learn more about rebase so i have cloned the central repo (I call this origin) and made changes to the cloned copy and pushed two commits to origin. so I have the following. origin --> C1 --> C2 in my cloned copy which I consider a branch I have made two more commits C3 and C4 clone --> C3 --> C4 I am able to easily pull from origin to get my clone to look like clone --> C3 --> C4 --> C1 --> C2 I was wanting to rebase the clone branch so that it shows clone -> C1 --> C2 --> C3 --> C4 I though the command to do this was git rebase origin master but that doesnt work. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? thanks -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Git-rebase-basics-tp7561468.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
