Typically, you would use git rebase to:

About subtree merges
Typically, a subtree merge is used to contain a repository within a repository. The "subrepository" is stored in a folder of the main repository.
The best way to explain subtree merges is to show by example. We will:

About version control and Git
A version control system, or VCS, tracks the history of changes as people and teams collaborate on projects together. As developers make changes to the project, any earlier version of the project can be recovered at any time.
Developers can review project history to find out:

If another person has pushed to the same branch as you, Git won't be able to push your changes:

About branch and tag names
Most repositories use simple branch names, such as main or update-icons. Tag names also usually follow a basic format, such as a version number like v1.2.3. Both branch names and tag names may also use the path separator (/) for structure, for example area/item or level-1/level-2/level-3. Oth... | {

About git push
The git push command takes two arguments:
A remote name, for example, origin
A branch name, for example, main
For example:
git push REMOTE-NAME BRANCH-NAME
As an example, you usually run git push origin main to push your local changes
to your online repository.

After you reorder and manipulate commits using git rebase, should a merge conflict occur, Git will tell you so with the following message printed to the terminal:
