rebase

description

Rebases the current branch onto the latest remote base branch (origin/main or origin/master). Handles uncommitted changes automatically via git stash. Use when asked to "rebase", "rebaseして", "最新に追従して", "ベースブランチに合わせて", "mainに追従", "masterに追従", "rebase on latest", or any request to sync/update the current branch with the upstream default branch. Also use when the user mentions merge conflicts from an outdated branch or wants to bring their feature branch up to date before creating a PR.

Rebase onto Latest Base Branch

Rebase the current feature branch onto the latest remote base branch, safely handling uncommitted changes.

Workflow

1. Check preconditions

• Confirm you are inside a git repository
• Confirm the current branch is NOT the base branch itself (abort with a message if it is — rebasing main onto main is a no-op)
• Check for an in-progress rebase (git status showing "rebase in progress"). If found, ask the user how to proceed rather than starting a new rebase

2. Stash uncommitted changes (if any)

Run git status --porcelain. If there is output (tracked modifications, untracked files, etc.):

git stash push -u -m "auto-stash before rebase"

The -u flag includes untracked files. Remember that a stash was created so you can restore it later.

3. Fetch and detect the base branch

git fetch origin

Detect the base branch by checking which remote branch exists:

git rev-parse --verify origin/main >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "main" || echo "master"

Use the result as <base>.

4. Rebase

git rebase origin/<base>

5. Handle the result

Success: Report what happened — how many commits were replayed, the base branch used.

Conflict: Do NOT attempt to resolve conflicts automatically. Report:

• Which files have conflicts
• The current rebase state
• How to continue (git rebase --continue) or abort (git rebase --abort)
• If changes were stashed, remind the user that the stash still needs to be popped after resolving conflicts

Then stop and wait for the user.

6. Restore stashed changes

Only if a stash was created in step 2 AND the rebase succeeded:

git stash pop

If the stash pop itself causes conflicts, report them to the user.

Important

• Never force-push or modify remote branches as part of this workflow
• Never use --interactive (-i) flag — it requires terminal interaction
• If the user is on a detached HEAD, ask what branch they intended to rebase before proceeding
