Description Leho Kraav (:macmaN @lkraav) 2023-03-16 17:28:07 UTC

This sounds too good to be true :)

> Instead of manually finding commit SHAs for git commit --fixup, or running a manual interactive rebase, do this:

> git add $FILES_YOU_FIXED
> git absorb --and-rebase

> git absorb will automatically identify which commits are safe to modify, and which staged changes belong to each of those commits. It will then write fixup! commits for each of those changes.

Reproducible: Always

Maybe @dlan could help, since this is also a Rust Cargo package, like dev-vcs/stgit.
