I am following [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/804115/when-do-you-use-git-rebase-instead-of-git-merge/9147389#9147389) answer to understand the difference between git **`merge`** and **`rebase`** and also created a sample repository in Github to understand it well, but what I am watching is the same number of commits with both git merge and rebase operation.

Let me explain what I performed.

**Step 1:** I created a project and pushed it to **master** branch of Github repository.

**Step 2:** Created feature branch with name - **feature-one** with base as master branch, added dummy files and committed it as follows:

```
git checkout -b feature-one
touch test.txt
git add .
git commit -m "feature-one first commit"

touch another-test.txt
git add .
git commit -m "feature-one second commit"

```

**Step 3:** Switched back to master branch and merged the feature-one branch in it using **`git merge`** as follows:

```
git checkout master
git merge feature-one

```

Now I can see two additional commits(feature-one first commit, feature-one second commit) in master along with initial commit.

Then, I done the same steps and rebased it with git master branch as follows:

```
git checkout -b feature-one
touch test-rebase.txt
git add .
git commit -m "feature-one third commit"

touch another-test-rebase.txt
git add .
git commit -m "feature-one fourth commit"

```

**Step 4:** Switched back to master branch and merged the feature-one branch in it using **`git rebase`** as follows:

```
git checkout master
git rebase feature-one

```

Now again I can see two additional commits(feature-one third commit, feature-one fourth commit) in master along with previous three commits.

What's my expectation is I will not see the feature branch commits once rebased with master.

Now my question is my expectation correct or am doing something wrong?

Can anyone please explain?

Thanks.
