My god, we have to use git in school and no one knows about rebasing. A group member made commits with profanity in messages (ha-ha, so funny, now how about some useful messages though?) and it turned out at the end we had to submit the repo. Everyone was panicking until I told them I could change the message in literally half a minute.

Rebasing cleans up my commits so much. It is nice being able to have a chain of nice, logical commits even in the middle of a hairy refactor.
