git-history(1). In 2.55.0, a new subcommand for this tool was added: fixup.Imagine you've made some changes and you want to amend those changes into an existing commit. The most common approach to this is to create a fixup commit and autosquash it with git-rebase(1): git commit --fixup=<commit-id>
git rebase -i --autosquash <commit-id>^
Doing this in two steps is clumsy, especially because it requires an interactive rebase. Instead you can use the git-history(1) fixup command: git history fixup <commit-id>
This takes the staged changes and amends them into the given commit. As an added bonus, because you're using git-history(1), all other local branches that
