The best way of thinking of this is that changes via the github web
interface are like changes someone else made to the remote repository,
and which you want to incorporate into your local branch (which is
what you operate on using `git rebase -i`).

I've written an article to try to explain remotes, branches and how to
incorporate changes from remotes into a local branch:

You can ignore the stuff about `git merge`, which you don't want to
use here. Hopefully this will make it more clear what's going on!
