+- If you need to get the latest commits in the `main` branch to use them in your development, we recommend rebasing your feature branch. Rebase will keep the [commit history linear](https://epiverse-trace.github.io/blueprints/git-branching-merging.html#merging-pull-requests-merge-commits-vs-squash-and-merge-vs-rebase-and-merge). First, make sure that you are the only contributor in the `feature` branch, then:

+      1. Switch to the `main` branch: `git checkout main`
+      2. Pull the `main` branch: `git pull`
+      3. Switch to your `feature` branch: `git checkout feature`
+      4. [Rebase](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/git/git_rebase.html) your `feature` branch onto `main` branch: `git rebase main`
+      5. Push your rebased `featured` branch using the `--force` option (this must be a forced update): `git push --force`
