Re:Ask HN: Rebase or merge Git strategy? by weliketocode on Friday November 09, 2018 @04:12AM (#18413262)
Is your team quite inexperienced with git, or is there anything inherently unusual about the project?

If the team is spending a lot of time dealing with merge conflicts, merging vs rebasing isn't the problem.

More than likely, one or more of the following are issues:

- Too many people are making changes in parallel to the same file

- Everyone isn't consistently keeping their `dev` branch up-to-date

- Developers aren't taking the time to first merge dev into their feature branch and fix any merge conflicts before submitting a pull request

- Pull requests aren't being properly reviewed (no approvals until merge conflict addressed)
