Like git pull --rebase? Make it default (Example)

1 min read Original article ↗

As I mentioned in one of the previous protips git pull --rebase is a way to go (for most cases).

But what if you're tired of writing --rebase every single time?

Make it default.

For your repo config just set

git config branch.autosetuprebase always

and every new branch will be set to use rebase when you type git pull.

What about existing branches? Type for each of them

git config branch.YOUR_BRANCH_NAME.rebase true

If you want to use merge instead of rebase for one particular pull you can always type

git pull --no-rebase
