I basically only use git merge like Theo from T3 stack. git rebase rewrites your commit history, so I feel there’s too much risk to rewriting something you didn’t intend to. With merge, every commit is a real state the code was in.

Please never rebase after you open a pull request. It breaks the iterative workflow of code reviews – it makes it hard to see if issues brought up in comments were addressed or not.

That depends on the PR tool. I don’t know how others work, but Azure DevOps handles rebases quite well (as long as you are rebasing to the target of your PR).
