How to master git rebase like a boss!

once your work on the forked project is done, then is the time to get everything back to the upstream.

$ git fetch upstream; git checkout master; git rebase upstream/master

if everything is ok this will go through hands-down. if there are merge conflicts you will be prompted, then

$ git rebase --continue; git rebase --skip; git mergetool

also every once in a while execute the following command to get rid of the .orig files that would appear after a merge

    $ find . -name "*.orig" -print0 | xargs -0 rm

note: You can use kdiff3 as your merge tool.
