One-liner for git rebase and git pull

Question

Is there a one-liner for pulling a branch and rebasing to it?

For example, when working on a feature branch, one checks out master, pulls changes, and then checkouts to feature before running git rebase master.

# currently on feature branch
git checkout master
git pull
git checkout feature
git rebase master

What's the one-liner for this?

Answer 1

To pull and rebase on the same branch:

git pull --rebase

---

To pull from master and rebase feature onto master:

git pull --rebase origin master:master

NOTE: I'm not sure if this works for non-fast-forward rebases.

If you're doing it frequently, you can create a shell alias:

gprb() {
  local branch_a="$1"
  local branch_b="$2"
  git checkout "$branch_a" && \
  git pull && \
  git checkout "$branch_b" && \
  git rebase "$branch_a"
}

Usage:

gprb master feature
