Contributing to open-source projects is a rewarding experience as you work to make software better for end users like yourself. Once you submit a pull request, the process of contributing to a project can require some rebasing and reworking of code prior to acceptance, followed by a general cleanup of your branches.
This tutorial will guide you through some of the next steps you may need to take after you submit a pull request to an open-source software project.

Thank you very much, Lisa I have just signed up to say it, cos I do rebase last days a lot and this post saves all my mistakes from happening, it is amazing! Cheers :-)
Hi Lisa, Thanks for article. I think it would be better if you use forced push with lease, so that it won’t remove others’ work. Vincent
Under “Complete the Rebase”, shouldn’t it be
git rebase upstream/main
instead of
git rebase origin/main
to rebase your branch on top of the latest version of the project’s upstream code?
Excellent article, I spent some days trying to identify the issue. Thanks…
