    If you’re interested in writing safe shell scripts then check out shellcheck:

    https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

    If you’re interested I’ve written a git hook for it that runs a check when you git commit:

    You should also check out her Google shell script style guide:

    I wrote my own tool for this which allows you to fix up a file based on the last time you changed that file, or on a specific commit. It will then execute an interactive rebase to that point as well as taking care of stashing and then restoring unrelated files.

    I like the idea of having the editor definition return “true” instead of showing it; I’ll have to add that later.

    Somewhat (or possibly greatly) related:

    Are tools like git-absorb safe/reliable?

    "Essentially, when your working directory has uncommitted changes on top of draft changesets, you can run `hg absorb` and the uncommitted modifications are automagically folded ("absorbed") into the appropriate draft ancestor changesets. This is essentially doing `hg histedit` + "roll" actions without having to make a commit or manually make history modification rules."

    I haven't wrapped my head around the algorithm. I get that an algorithm can "recollate" a series of commits in a way that yields no commit conflicts, but that's not the same as rearranging and combining commits into a sequence of semantically coherent atomic commits.

    git-autofixup can also be installed by simply downloading the script[1], giving it execute permissions, and putting it somewhere in your PATH. It needs perl 5.8.4+, which is very old, and only depends on the standard library. Git ships with a Perl interpreter on Windows.

    If there are any staged changes, git-autofixup only fixes those up and ignores any unstaged ones; otherwise it tries to autofixup all unstaged changes.
