git revise

Build Status PyPi Documentation Status

git revise is a git subcommand to efficiently update, split, and rearrange commits. It is heavily inspired by git rebase, however it tries to be more efficient and ergonomic for patch-stack oriented workflows.

By default, git revise will apply staged changes to a target commit, then update HEAD to point at the revised history. It also supports splitting commits and rewording commit messages.

Unlike git rebase, git revise avoids modifying the working directory or the index state, performing all merges in-memory and only writing them when necessary. This allows it to be significantly faster on large codebases and avoids unnecessarily invalidating builds.
