Git Fixup and Interactive Rebase

Fleeting

git fixup and interactive rebase

In one step, use the staged diff to create a commit with message “!fixup some commit” and run git rebase interactive. I use this a lot for I commit a lot and often find out I forgot something in some deep commit I did not push yet. I just have to add the fix and run git-fri to fix my mistake.

This creates much nicer commits that make sense rather than the habit that I see too often of people pushing branches with several “fix”, “typo” in those just because they eventually got too lazy (I am also) to rewrite their history before pushing.
