As long as you never touch the rebase button, you'll be fine. Probably.
... and force push.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where rebase or a force push seems to be the solution, take a step back, clone your repo in a new directory and copy the changes into you're new checkout - 'cause you gon' and screwed somethin' up, son.
I rebase and force push PR branches all the time. Master is moving quicker than my PR.
Yeah, our whole workflow is based on rebasing our feature branches on develop. Makes for a clean git log. :)
Don't be afraid of
git reset --hardif you rebased with the button on GitHub/gitlab, though. :D
