git merge vs rebase

Merge: Moves changes from a branch to another and creates a merge commit.
History is preserved.

(Feature branch context) When to Merge: Merge if target branch has no changes. 

Rebase: Moves changes from a branch to another but alters the history by moving
the origin branch's starting point. It does not create a merge commit.

(Feature branch context) When to Rebase: Pull and rebase if there are changes
on target branch.

git rebase vs merge

Git rebase and merge both integrate changes from one branch into another. Where they differ is how it's done. Git rebase moves a feature branch into a master. Git merge adds a new commit, preserving the history

what is git rebase

the rebase command integrates changes from one branch into
another. It is an alternative to the better known "merge" 
command. Most visibly, rebase differs from merge by rewriting
the commit history in order to produce a straight,
linear succession of commits.

git rebase vs merge

If you want to see the history completely same as it happened, you should use merge. Merge preserves history whereas rebase rewrites it.
Rebasing is better to streamline a complex history, you are able to change the commit history by interactive rebase. 
You can remove undesired commits, squash two or more commits into one or edit the commit message.
Rebase will present conflicts one commit at a time whereas merge will present them all at once.
It is better and much easier to handle the conflicts but you shouldn’t forget that
reverting a rebase is much more difficult than reverting a merge if there are many conflicts. 
You can find details of a basic rebase process from git — Basic Rebase .

git pull vs rebase

git pull fetches the latest changes of the current branch from a remote and applies those changes to your local copy of the branch. 
Generally this is done by merging, i.e. the local changes are merged into the remote changes. So git pull is similar to git fetch & git merge.

git pull --rebase :
The local changes you made will be rebased on top of the remote changes, instead of being merged with the remote changes.
