What does -x option do with git pull?

@cali_green 

In Git, the -x option with git pull is used to perform a rebase instead of a merge during the pull operation. When you use git pull -x, it is equivalent to running git pull --rebase.

Rebasing is the process of moving or combining a sequence of commits to a new base commit. This can help in keeping a cleaner and linear commit history by avoiding unnecessary merge commits. It can be particularly useful when working on feature branches to keep your commit history organized.

So, when you use git pull -x, it will fetch the changes from the remote repository and then rebase your local changes on top of the latest changes from the remote repository.
