No you just do a rebase to bring it in. Assuming you’re making atomic commits you shouldn’t have a ton of merge conflicts. If you have to do this a lot, your branch scope is really bad and the problem isn’t in how you’re using got, it’s in how you’re slicing work.

If you try to pull someone else's rebased / history rewritten branch, your git will tell you that it's rejected. You can completely avoid this by merging instead of rewriting history.

...or you simply rebase the subset of commits of your branch onto the rewritten branch. That's like 10 simple button presses in magit.
