A developer is working on a feature branch that has been pushed to GitLab. The developer has made additional local commits and wants to update the remote branch. However, the remote branch has also been updated by another developer. What is the safest way for the developer to integrate the remote changes and push their own commits?

Fetch the remote branch, rebase the local branch onto it, and then force-push the updated branch.

Merge the remote branch into the local branch and then push normally.

Pull the remote branch with 'git pull --rebase', resolve any conflicts, and then push with 'git push --force-with-lease'.

Force-push the local branch to the remote, overwriting the remote changes.
