Because rebase is fraught with peril, if you also push rebased branches upstream and someone else works off that branch.
If you stick to the rule of only using rebase on local branches that have never been pushed upstream, it's an awesome tool. If you don't, you're eventually going to cause someone to have a bad day.
Yeah, basically anything that rewrites already pushed history and is then (force-) push is bound to create problems (unless it's a solo dev only ever coding on a single device, who uses the remote repo as a mere backup solution).
Yep. I work exclusively in forks, and all my work is done on my machine, rebased, squashed and then pushed to my fork for a PR. No commits from main are ever touched in my rebase. It’s such a clean workflow for me.
