merge

- when commits of both branch need to preserve

- when additional zero file “merged commit” is ok

- when chronology order of commits need to maintain

rebase

- when commit of both need to preserve

- when zero file “merged commit” is not desired

- when rebased branch commits need to stay on top of other branch

- when change of commit id is ok

Rebase: ideally before merge.
