Merging by rebase

This can only be done by repo collaborators. If you use the github "merge" button, a merge commit will always be created, even if the merge was fast-forward.

git checkout master
git pull upstream master
git rebase master feature_branch  # will leave you in feature_branch
git checkout master
git merge feature_branch  # will not create a merge commit!
git push upstream master
