Git rebase -I is not that scary

Interactive rebasing (`git rebase -i`) is far less intimidating than many developers fear—it simply opens a text file where you can reorder, reword, squash, or drop commits before they're replayed. The author emphasizes that rebasing is a safe operation since you can abort at any time with `git rebase --abort`, commits aren't destroyed but recreated, and Git reflog preserves your work. Understanding these fundamentals makes interactive rebasing a valuable tool for maintaining clean commit histories.
