  git checkout mybranch
  git rebase main

A conflict happens. Now "ours" is main and "theirs" is mybranch, even though from your perspective you're still on mybranch. Git isn't, however.

Ah that’s fair. This is why I would do a `git merge main` instead of a rebase here.

I have met more than one person who would doggedly tolerate rebase, not even using rerere, instead of doing a simple ‘git merge --no-ff’ to one-shot it, not understanding that rebase touches every commit in the diff between main and not simply the latest change on HEAD.

Not a problem if you are a purist on linear history.
