Use this interactive demo to learn how to rebase a branch in Sourcetree step by step.

Quick summary

Rebasing in Sourcetree lets you move or combine a sequence of commits onto a new base branch, keeping your Git history clean and linear. This guide walks you through the exact steps to rebase a branch using Sourcetree's visual interface without touching the command line.


Steps

  1. Open your repository in Sourcetree to get started.
  2. In the Branches sidebar, double-click the branch you want to rebase to check it out.
  3. Click 'Rebase current changes onto Sub' to initiate the rebase operation.
  4. Click 'OK' to confirm and save the rebase changes.

📌 Why this matters

Rebasing in Sourcetree gives developers a fast, visual way to integrate changes from one branch into another without creating messy merge commits, resulting in a cleaner and more readable Git history. For teams using Sourcetree as their Git GUI, understanding how to rebase directly from the interface eliminates the need for command-line expertise and reduces the risk of errors. A linear commit history makes code reviews faster, debugging easier, and collaboration more efficient across distributed development teams.
