Aside from the ways others mentioned on how to do this, I think that a better interface if this were to be added would be to make the commit an optional parameter of --amend. Adding another parameter which effectively does a superset of --amend sounds unnecessary. I often want to amend a commit, but its simply too much work, so I usually commit it marking the message as something like "fixup! ...". Then, before I push, I make sure to rebase all of the commits marked as fixups. Clearly autosquash does this, but to have to override the editor as "true" is just a hassle. I feel like this is a common enough need that it deserves more first class support than relying on the rebase command and then using true as an editor. Either it should be supported natively or it should be possible to autosquash a rebase without --interactive, since at present --autosquash requires --interactive, which isn't nice for when the user does not want the rebase to be interactive. Such a simple task shouldn't require an interactive command. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
