Arlen Walker

Being the Marshal at Paladin Web Services isn't always a walk in the park for Arlen — only on those soft summer days when he picks up his laptop and tests the range of the office base station.

After one such excursion, he hooked up the kitchen blender to the web server, and claimed he had created verifiable proof that HTML5 could, in fact, bring about whirled peas.

This bold foolhardiness is not limited to the office, as Arlen can often be found at a lectern, engaging an audience on any technical topic he can get them to sit still for, and many he can't.

Of course, like all power tools, rebase can be abused. Let's take a closer look at what can be done through rebasing, and where and when you should use it. This article assumes familiarity with software version control systems in general, as well as a basic familiarity with git itself. While it does explore some git fundamentals, it is not intended to be a primer on git usage.
