+    opt:                        current branch and <commit> diverged
+      --squash ................ merge all commits into a single one
+      --no-commit ............. dont generate commit if the merge succeeds
+
+  git merge-base <commit> <commit>
+                                get the common ancestor, since both commits diverged
+
+  git rebase -i <upstream> .... interactively rebase on <upstream>, also supports actions
+                                like squashing, editing, rewording, etc of commits
+
+  git cherry-pick <commit> .... apply commit on current branch
