git-rebase: Auto-resolve any conflicts by favoring the working branch version (`theirs` keyword has reversed meaning in this case).

$ git rebase -X theirs ${branch_name}

try on your machine

The command git rebase -X theirs ${branch_name} is used in Git to perform a rebase operation with the "theirs" strategy.

A rebase operation in Git allows you to integrate changes from one branch onto another branch. It does this by replaying each commit from the source branch onto the target branch, resulting in a linear history.

The -X flag is used to specify the strategy option for a rebase operation. In this case, the strategy is set to "theirs".

The "theirs" strategy is used when encountering conflicts during the rebase process. It automatically resolves conflicts by selecting the changes from the source branch (the branch being rebased) over the ones in the target branch (the branch onto which the changes are being applied).

${branch_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the branch you want to rebase onto. For example, if you want to rebase the current branch onto a branch named "feature-branch", you would replace ${branch_name} with "feature-branch".

In summary, the command git rebase -X theirs ${branch_name} performs a rebase operation with the "theirs" strategy, integrating changes from the current branch onto the specified branch.
