I found the following two diagrams quite useful in coming to this understanding: ADDED 3 From http://think-like-a-git.net/sections/rebase-from-the-ground-up/using-git-cherry-pick-to-simulate-git-rebase.html , checkout and reset can emulate the rebase. git checkout bar git reset --hard newbar git branch -d newbar
