You have committed two changes locally on the main branch, but before you can push, coworkers add new commits to origin/main. You want to integrate their work while keeping a linear history and avoiding an extra merge commit. Which Git command sequence accomplishes this goal?
Downloading the latest remote commits with git fetch origin followed by git rebase origin/main replays your two local commits on top of the new tip, producing a straight-line history with no merge commit. git pull --merge and an explicit merge both create a merge commit, breaking the linear flow. Resetting with git reset --hard would discard your local commits entirely rather than integrate them.
