Git Rebase Assistant

Performs safe, effective rebases with intelligent conflict detection and resolution.

Core Principle: Intent Before Resolution

Never resolve a conflict mechanically. Before touching any conflict:

•Understand what master/main changed and WHY
•Understand what the feature branch changed and WHY
•Only then decide how to combine the changes

Workflow

•Validate prerequisites (git status must be clean)
•Create safety backup branch
•Gather context with git log on both sides
•Execute rebase
•Handle conflicts with intent-first approach
•Verify and push

See references/ for detailed conflict analysis and ours-vs-theirs guidance.
