Great read. Rebase is such a powerful tool. I do think that git rebase -I derserved to be its own command. A lot of people I teach debasing to get confused by the difference between rebasing onto a ref, and pruning a branch

Git rebasing is extremely confusing. I say this as someone who does it on a daily basis. Rebasing takes significant effort to teach. The fundamental concepts are different from regular git use - it makes an abrupt jump from snapshot model to diff model.

A large section of developers simply don't reach that level of proficiency in their entire career - instead depending on the organization's expert for those tasks.
