What does REBASE mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To establish a new starting point or foundation for something, such as a price index, a tax level, or a body of computer code.
Rebase turns up in finance when a price index or currency peg is reset to a fresh starting value, in construction when a structure is set onto a new foundation, and in software development when programmers reapply a series of code changes onto a different starting point in a project's history. Across all these fields the underlying idea stays the same: the old baseline is abandoned and a new one takes its place. Version-control tools such as Git made the software sense of rebase familiar well beyond finance and engineering.
