I’ve been using this:

alias gfixup="git commit -v --fixup HEAD && GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR=touch git rebase -i --stat --autosquash --autostash HEAD~2"

From what I understand it does the same thing as this crate for the most part. All I do after is:

git push —force-with-lease

Not sure what you get from the crate otherwise

Your alias seems like a completely unecessary complexity. If you want to meld new changes into your branch head you can just alias “git commit --amend”, you don’t need that mess.

Absorb will find the commits to fix up for each change in the working copy, it doesn’t just merge everything into the head.

I see, the reason it’s that long complicated alias was that I didn’t want to open up the editor to change the commit every time I updated. “git commit —amend” does that.

I read the rough how it works and it now makes sense. I might give it a try. Thanks!

I guess the crate version is easier to soft reset?
