Why is rebase such a reviled git command? It's so useful. Interactive rebase is essentially a centralized place for editing history: reordering, squashing, amending, rewording, dropping, merging, splitting. Pretty much anything anyone could ever want to do can be done with interactive rebase. Enable autostashing and explicit dropping of commits and there's basically no way to screw things up. In the event that does happen somehow, reflog shows previous heads and even notes the point where the rebase began, making it easy to hard reset.

It's just so good. I don't know what I'd do without it.
