Git rebase basics

I am trying to learn git on my own.  I have setup our own server for git
using https and have cloned this repository and have done pushes and pulls
with no problem.

I am trying to learn more about rebase so i have cloned the central repo (I
call this origin)
and made changes to the cloned copy and pushed two commits to origin.

so I have the following.

origin -->  C1 --> C2

in my cloned copy which I consider a branch

I have made two more commits  C3 and C4

clone --> C3 -->  C4

I am able to easily pull from origin to get my clone to look like  clone -->
C3 --> C4 --> C1 --> C2

I was wanting to rebase the clone branch so that it shows    clone -> C1 -->
C2 --> C3 --> C4

I though the command to do this was   git rebase origin master but that
doesnt work.



Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

thanks
