The Git history command deserves more attention

6 hours ago

Git history is a new experimental feature in Git that introduces three subcommands: fixup, reword, and split.
fixup allows staging changes and folding them into an old commit, then automatically rebasing all branches that contain that commit.
reword updates the commit message of an old commit and automatically rebases everything on top without touching the working tree.
split divides a single commit into two by interactively selecting hunks, rebuilding the stack on top.
All three commands are atomic and avoid leaving the tree in a half-broken state by refusing operations that could cause conflicts.
Unlike jj, git history does not handle conflicts as first-class yet, but the documentation suggests this may change in the future.
git history offers many benefits of jj without requiring a full workflow switch, and it's part of the core Git distribution.
