Git rebase reword Patch#

This is a because the rebase is called with a -rebase-merges option that preserves your local merges while rebasing. You may see in the actions list some keys like label onto and reset onto. The rebase then runs (without conflict) and you can verify your log to see that the commit message was updated! Pick 9a7cf39 chore (dx ): setup Husky, lint-staged, precommit-checks, commitlint pick 3f0714b chore (dx ): setup ESLint and Prettierįixup -C 61eecda amend ! chore (dx ): setup ESLint and Prettier

If you’re curious about what’s happening then, you can remove that GIT_EDITOR=true part so you can see that the fixup commit is already at the right spot in the list of actions to run, prefixed by fixup -C. Then setting GIT_EDITOR environment variable temporary to true tells Git to not open the editor and directly runs the rebase. Git will then create the fixup commit and our alias will automatically run the interactive rebase, starting from the faulty commit’s direct ancestor. amend ! chore (dx ): setup ESLint and Prettier Git then gets to the reword 4ca2acc command. You can then change the message (but keep the very first line as-is). When youre finished making all your changes, you can run git rebase -continue. # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. # Please enter the commit message for your changes. 🌀 An evil wormhole opens, releasing the flames of hell that reduce this world to ashes 🔥! (Actually no, we don’t even need to use magic for that 😭)īut seriously, Git will open your editor with a message starting with amend! … followed by the first line of the commit message you want to fix, then a line break and again the (full) commit message. Introducing autoreword: git config -global toreword '!git commit -fixup reword:$1 & GIT_EDITOR=true & git rebase -autosquash -interactive -rebase-merges $1~1 & echo 'autoreword finished'' This is a bit of a mouthful but who cares, we’re going to wrap it with a nice alias that looks kind of like a magic incantation 🔮. Let me introduce the git commit -fixup reword: command.

Honestly, you shouldn’t be, with a little learning this command proves to be a super valuable ally!Īpart from the rebase thing, do you know that you can create a commit that expresses the intent to change the message? I bet you don’t! Fortunately, I’m here 😁 to help. My most common oversight is probably forgetting to link the issue the commit refers to.ĭon’t tell me you’re thinking: *“Never mind, I’ll pop open the UI and fill it in by hand!” or that you’re giving up! Maybe that’s because you don’t know about interactive rebasing, or are afraid to use it 😨.

Git rebase reword Patch#

Just as I sometimes forget files in a commit, I also sometimes botch commit messages only to find out about it a while later (after a few more commits). TL DR gps rebase - do an interactive rebase of the patch stack & mark the patch you want to amend with edit, it will drop you out into the shell at that patch.
