A developer has cloned a repository and made several commits. They want to push to the remote, but the remote has advanced with new commits. The developer wants to integrate the remote changes and then push, but they want to avoid creating a merge commit. What is the correct sequence?

git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main && git push

git pull origin main && git push

git merge origin/main && git push

A developer is about to commit a change that fixes a bug and also refactors a module. What is the best practice for committing this work?

Create two separate commits: one for the bug fix and one for the refactor.

Commit only the bug fix and discard the refactor.

Commit the refactor first, then the bug fix, but with the same message.

Create a single commit with a message describing both changes.
