literally just 'git rebase origin/main' to insert new commits to main into my branch history prior to the commits I made. No rewrites of later commits required if there are no conflicts. You seem to have an extreme misunderstanding of how git works.
Talking about extreme misunderstandings, rebase always rewrites commits, even when there are conflicts. Look at the commit sha's next time you're doing that.
