About:
GitFixup is a command-line utility that creates an automatic fixup commit for a specified git reference. It streamlines the process of amending previous commits by generating a commit with the 'fixup!' prefix, which can later be easily squashed. This tool saves developers time and reduces the manual effort required to clean up commit history.
Key Features:
  • Automatically generates 'fixup!' commits for any git reference
  • Simplifies the process of cleaning up commit history
  • Integrates seamlessly with standard git rebase workflows
  • Lightweight command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Correcting a minor mistake in a previous commit without creating a separate revert commit
  • Adding forgotten changes to an earlier commit in a feature branch
  • Improving commit hygiene before merging a pull request
Alternatives:
  • git commit --fixup – GitFixup acts as a convenient alias that simplifies finding the reference, whereas the native command requires you to manually specify the SHA.
