To always pull like this, write these lines to your ~/.gitconfig:

[pull]
   rebase = true

..or use this oneliner

git config --global pull.rebase true

Note that this will break if you pull from other upstream branches like

git pull origin other-branch

If you keep rebasing by default, you can get "merge pulls" like this:

git pull --no-rebase origin other-branch
