Does this help with rebasing? I rarely have a need to rebase but all the same I avoid it because I just don't get it.
How you could somewhat rebase manually (to understand the effect; or because you like to handle the merge conflicts more granular or be more selective):
We assume we have the branch "Feat" which was started on an old version of "Main", and now want to rebase it:
Et viola - you kinda manually rebased "Feat" on "Main"
Unless you really hate the commits that say "merged branch X into Y" I never saw rebasing as any easier than merging.
Rebasing shines for local commits not remote commits. IE rebase your commits onto the remote or amend the previous commit (yes that's actually a rebase)
