A handy tool for doing efficient in-memory commit rebases & fixups

git revise

git revise is a git subcommand to efficiently update, split, and rearrange commits. It is heavily inspired by git rebase, however tries to be more efficient and ergonomic for patch-stack oriented workflows.

By default, git revise will apply staged changes to a target commit, updating HEAD to point at the revised history. It also supports splitting commits, and rewording commit messages.

Unlike git-rebase, git revise avoids modifying working directory and index state, performing all merges in-memory, and only writing them when necessary. This allows it to be significantly faster on large codebases, and avoid invalidating builds.

Install

$ pip install --user git-revise
