rebasing a shared branch is fine, if the audience who needs to know about it is within arms length (or the remote chat equivalent). Rebasing a public branch that's used by hundreds requires special notification tooling and email templates and elaborate public shaming rituals, which people are happy to come up with but seems unnecessary in my opinion if you think twice before force pushing

also: 'git push --force-with-lease' (worth repeating)
