Interview Q&A / Git & GitHub

1. How do you view Git history in a compact, readable way?

   Use git log --oneline for one line per commit, adding --graph --decorate --all to see branches and merges drawn as a tree. Options like -n, --author and --since filter the output.

2. What is git rebase -i, and what can you do with it?

   Interactive rebase opens a list of your recent commits so you can reorder, reword, squash, edit, or drop them before they are replayed. It is the standard way to tidy a messy branch before opening a pull request.
