Rebase branch from master

• git fetch origin (This syncs your main branch with the latest changes)
• git rebase origin/master
• Fix merge conflicts that arise
  • After fixing merge conflicts, git add FILE previously merge conflicted files
  • git rebase --continue (or git rebase --skip if git complains that there were no changes after resolving all conflicts)
  • Repeat as necessary as merge conflicts arise in the subsequent commits
• Once the rebase is complete, enter git push origin HEAD --force
