overview
Native sequence editor for Git interactive rebase
history
Git Interactive Rebase Tool is a Rust terminal sequence editor for `git rebase -i`. It replaces the plain text todo-file edit step with a keyboard-driven interface for changing actions, reordering commits, inspecting diffs, and writing the rebase plan back to Git.
Maro Miguel published the repository in December 2016 and released version 0.1.0 the next day. The changelog records a rapid early rewrite in version 0.2.0, followed by scrolling, man-page, color, exec-action, and configuration work through the 0.x line.
The project reached 1.0.0 in April 2019 with Unicode support and overflow handling. Version 2.0.0 in January 2021 was a larger terminal rewrite, replacing Curses with Crossterm while adding commit diff views, richer key handling, external-editor error handling, and improved macOS color support.
The README and install guide show the tool moving beyond a Rust crate into ordinary package-manager channels: release binaries and packages for Debian-style and RPM systems, Homebrew on macOS, Cargo, and community packages for Alpine, Arch, Fedora, FreeBSD, Guix, Chocolatey, and Scoop. That packaging spread made it usable as a daily Git sequence editor without asking users to build Rust code by hand.
Users configure Git with `git config --global sequence.editor interactive-rebase-tool`, then run ordinary interactive rebases. Inside the tool they set actions such as pick, squash, fixup, edit, reword, and drop; reorder lines; select multiple commits; inspect commit summaries and diffs; toggle break actions; and write or abort the todo file.
The tool also supports direct invocation on a rebase todo file and temporary overrides through `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR`, which makes it fit both persistent personal Git configuration and one-off rebase sessions.
For package nerds, it is a good example of a single-purpose Rust CLI gaining cross-platform distribution by respecting Git's existing sequence-editor hook. It avoids replacing Git's rebase machinery; it improves the one user-facing edit surface that Git deliberately delegates.

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
