# Interactive Rebase

To further organise the commits. Include `-i`in the command, means interactive.

```
git rebase -i <new-base>
```

* Interactive rebase is avaialable if
  * **no merged commits involved**.
  * neither branch has initial commit
  * the rebase branch is not the parent (e.g. rebase `master` to `feature` won't work, but the opposite way will)
* The text editor will open for you to select the operations on each commit.
* The latest commit comes last on the list.
* You can also reorder the commits during an interactive rebase.

### Commonly used options

* `pick`: takes the commit of one branch and puts it at the end of another branch. This is the default option for rebase.
* `reword`: edit the commit message.
* `squash`: combines multiple commits into one.
* `drop`: removes the commit as it never happens.
