The README presents `git fixup ` as a convenience wrapper around `git commit --fixup `, while the argument-free form uses Git blame and log data to suggest commits touched by the staged lines or files. ### Adoption history The tool occupies a niche around Git autosquash usage rather than serving as a general-purpose Git frontend. Its README documents installation through Homebrew, Arch packaging, manual installation, and shell completion, which shows the script was designed for developer workstations and command-line integration. ### How it is used Practitioners stage the changes that should amend an older commit, run `git fixup` to select or infer a target commit, and then use interactive rebase with autosquash to fold the generated fixup or squash commit into place. Configuration is provided through Git config keys and environment variables for defaults such as base revision, action, menu command, and whether to rebase after committing. ### Why package nerds care git-fixup is package-nerd useful because it turns a common review-cleanup ritual into a tiny Git subcommand without adding a large workflow system. Its value is in the Unix-tool shape: a shell script, optional completion, and compatibility with external menu tools such as fzf. ### Timeline - 2013: The repository was created and the first commit described the tool as fixup-focused. - 2015: README imagery and usage examples documented the interactive candidate-selection workflow. - Later releases: The command gained squash, amend, rebase, menu, and shell-completion support. ### Related projects - git-fixup builds on Git's `commit --fixup`, `commit --squash`, and `rebase --autosquash` workflow, and it can be paired with menu tools such as fzf. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for git-fixup.
