To apply a branch entirely on top of the current HEAD of the master

  1. Initiate the rebase procedure.
  2. Clear the Preserve Merges check box.
  3. Clear the Interactive check box.
  4. From the Onto drop-down list, select the master branch.
  5. Clear the selection in the From drop-down list, if anything is selected.
  6. From the Merge Strategy drop-down list, selectDefault.
  7. Click the Rebase button. The rebase process starts. View the rebase log in the Version Control tool window, resolve conflicts that arise, and resume rebasing.
