Hi,

I am new to git .Can someone explain in simple terms what git fetch,git
merge and git rebase do?..I tried googling but was very confused after going
thro it.

Also, can someone prescribe a link which explains git in detail right from
scratch.

another definition of git-rebase:

git-rebase:  the MOST DANGEROUS command in git.  you can easily DESTROY 
your repo if you don't know what you're doing!  Until you get the hang 
of it, always make a copy of the before-image of the branch your 
rebasing (mybranch) by doing a "git checkout mybranch" and then "git 
branch copy-of-mybranch".  Then if you destroy mybranch you can recover 
it from copy-of-mybranch.

v/r,
