Recovering from master being rewritten
If your local master was up to date to what origin had BEFORE master was rewritten:
git fetch origin
git checkout feature-x
git rebase master --onto origin/master
or
git rebase master feature-x --onto origin/master
If something was/is wrong with your local master (or it was already updated to origin/master):
git fetch
git rebase origin/master -i
Whilst in interactive mode remove any commits which are already in origin/master (reason they come up is different SHAs).
If you don't remove the duplicates then you might get conflicts, which after you have resolved them git rebase --continue
doesn't work. This is because the commit your trying to add doesn't actually change anything. To get around this you simply git rebase --skip
.
