git revise
git revise
is a git
subcommand to efficiently update, split, and rearrange
commits. It is heavily inspired by git rebase
, however it tries to be more
efficient and ergonomic for patch-stack oriented workflows.
By default, git revise
will apply staged changes to a target commit, then
update HEAD
to point at the revised history. It also supports splitting
commits and rewording commit messages.
Unlike git rebase
, git revise
avoids modifying the working directory or
the index state, performing all merges in-memory and only writing them when
necessary. This allows it to be significantly faster on large codebases and
avoids unnecessarily invalidating builds.
Install
