To get started with this example, you need to check the previously created branch, rebaseExample; if you don't have this branch, follow the steps from the Rebasing commits to another branch section and use the following command:
$ git checkout rebaseExample Switched to branch 'rebaseExample' Your branch is ahead of 'origin/stable-3.1' by 109 commits. (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
Notice that, because we are tracking origin/stable-3.1, the Git checkout will tell us how far ahead we are in comparison with that branch.
