I have a master branch, a dev branch and a number of feature branches from dev. And I was wondering if there was an easy way to rebase dev and all of it's sub-branches onto master.

In general this is considered harmful. Why do you rebase your branch
from time to time? For example in git.git, topic branches are based on
master, then merged to master when they are ready, but they are never
rebased.

Yes, but my understanding is that it's only harmful if you publish the branch (or dependent branches) which are being rebased.

So rebasing is very bad in these circumstances, but I fail to see why it's bad if these branches are kept private.
