[![Git Interactive Rebase Tool](/docs/assets/images/girt-demo.gif?raw=true)](https://youtu.be/q3tzb-gQC0w) **This is the documentation for the development build. For the current stable release, please use the [2.3.x documentation](https://github.com/MitMaro/git-interactive-rebase-tool/tree/2.3.0/README.md).** ## Table of Contents * [Features](./README.md#features) * [Install](./readme/install.md) * [Setup](./README.md#setup) * [Usage](./README.md#usage) * [Customization](./readme/customization.md) * [Development](./README.md#development) * [Related Projects](./README.md#related-projects) * [License](./README.md#license) ## Features ### Cross-platform Built and works on Linux, macOS, Windows and many others. ### Set action Easily set the action to `pick`, `squash`, `fixup`, `edit`, `reword` and `drop`. ![Basic operations](/docs/assets/images/girt-set-actions.gif?raw=true) ### Reorder rebase list Reorder the action list with a single key press. ![Reorder items](/docs/assets/images/girt-reorder.gif?raw=true) ### Multiline modification Change action and reorder multiple lines at once with visual mode. ![Visual mode](/docs/assets/images/girt-visual-mode.gif?raw=true) ### Toggle `break`s ![Toggle breaks](/docs/assets/images/girt-break.gif?raw=true) ### View commit details and diff View the commit overview, and a full commit diff with a press of a key. ![Commit overview](/docs/assets/images/girt-commit-overview.gif?raw=true) ![Commit diff](/docs/assets/images/girt-commit-diff.gif?raw=true) ### Unicode and Emoji support ![Unicode support](/docs/assets/images/girt-unicode.png?raw=true) ![Emoji support](/docs/assets/images/girt-emoji.png?raw=true) ### Edit `exec` command Easily edit the command that is run by an `exec` command. ![exec action command edit](/docs/assets/images/girt-edit.gif?raw=true) ### Edit in external editor Need to do something in your Git editor? Quickly shell out to your editor, make a change and return to the tool. ![Shell out to editor](/docs/assets/images/girt-external-editor.gif?raw=true) ### Advanced Features #### Modified line exec command This optional feature allows for the injection of an `exec` action after modified lines, where modified is determined as a changed action, command, or reference. This can be used to amend commits to update references in the commit message or run a test suite only on modified commits. To enable this option, set the `interactive-rebase-tool.postModifiedLineExecCommand` option, providing an executable or script. ```shell git config --global interactive-rebase-tool.postModifiedLineExecCommand "/path/to/global/script" ``` Or using repository-specific configuration, for targeted scripts. ```shell git config --global interactive-rebase-tool.postModifiedLineExecCommand "/path/to/repo/script" ``` The first argument provided to the script will always be the action performed. Then, depending on the action, the script will be provided a different set of arguments. For `drop`, `fixup`, `edit`, `pick`, `reword` and `squash` actions, the script will additionally receive the original commit hash, for `exec` the original and new commands are provided, and for `label`, `reset`, `merge`, and `update-ref` the original label/reference and new label/reference are provided. Full example of a resulting rebase todo file, assuming that `interactive-rebase-tool.postModifiedLineExecCommand` was set to `script.sh`. ``` # original line: label onto label new-onto exec script.sh "label" "onto" "new-onto" # original line: reset onto reset new-onto exec script.sh "reset" "onto" "new-onto" pick a12345 My feature # original line: pick b12345 My change squash b12345 My change exec script.sh "squash" "b12345" # original line: label branch label branch exec script.sh "label" "branch" "new-branch" # original line: exec command exec new-command exec script.sh "exec" "command" "new-command" ``` ## Setup ### Most systems git config --global sequence.editor interactive-rebase-tool ### Windows #### Standard Command Prompt and Windows Terminal git config --global sequence.editor "'C:/path/to/interactive-rebase-tool.exe'" #### GitBash GitBash requires the use of `winpty` in order to work correctly, so to set the editor use: git config --global sequence.editor "winpty /c/path/to/interactive-rebase-tool.exe" #### Notes Windows before version 10 has [serious rendering issues with saturated darker colors](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/updating-the-windows-console-colors/), such as the blue color that is entirely illegible on modern displays. While it is possible to avoid using saturated colors, a better option is to update the theme using Microsoft's [ColorTool](https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal/tree/master/src/tools/ColorTool). ### Temporary Override You can temporarily use a different sequence editor by using the `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR` environment variable: GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR=emacs git rebase -i [ []] ## Direct Usage ```shell interactive-rebase-tool interactive-rebase-tool --help interactive-rebase-tool --version ``` ### Getting Help The tool has built-in help that can be accessed by using the `?` key. ### Common Default Key Bindings Key bindings can be customized, see [configuration](readme/customization.md#key-bindings) for all key bindings and information on configuring. | Key | Mode | Description | |-------------|-------------|-------------------------------------------| | `?` | All | Show help | | Up | Normal/Diff | Move selection up | | Down | Normal/Diff | Move selection down | | Page Up | Normal/Diff | Move selection up five lines | | Page Down | Normal/Diff | Move selection down five lines | | Home | Normal/Diff | Move selection to start of list | | End | Normal/Diff | Move selection to home of list | | `q` | Normal/Diff | Abort interactive rebase | | `Q` | Normal/Diff | Immediately abort interactive rebase | | `w` | Normal/Diff | Write interactive rebase file | | `W` | Normal/Diff | Immediately write interactive rebase file | | `j` | Normal/Diff | Move selected commit(s) down | | `k` | Normal/Diff | Move selected commit(s) up | | `b` | Normal | Toggle break action | | `p` | Normal/Diff | Set selected commit(s) to be picked | | `r` | Normal/Diff | Set selected commit(s) to be reworded | | `e` | Normal/Diff | Set selected commit(s) to be edited | | `s` | Normal/Diff | Set selected commit(s) to be squashed | | `f` | Normal/Diff | Set selected commit(s) to be fixed-up | | `d` | Normal/Diff | Set selected commit(s) to be dropped | | `E` | Normal | Edit the command of an editable action | | `v` | Normal/Diff | Enter and exit visual mode (for selection)| | `I` | Normal | Insert a new line | | `Delete` | Normal/Diff | Remove selected lines | | `!` | Normal/Diff | Open todo file in external editor | | `Control+z` | Normal/Diff | Undo the previous change | | `Control+y` | Normal/Diff | Redo the previously undone change | | `c` | Normal/Diff | Show commit information | | Down | Diff | Scroll view down | | Up | Diff | Scroll view up | | Left | Diff | Scroll view left | | Right | Diff | Scroll view right | | Home | Diff | Scroll view to the top | | End | Diff | Scroll view to the end | | PageUp | Diff | Scroll view a step up | | PageDown | Diff | Scroll view a step down | | `d` | Diff | Show full commit diff | ## Supported Platforms ### Linux Supported on all Linux based distributions.

To install: cargo install --force cargo-make #### Debian and derivatives If you plan to build a release package you will need `pkg-config` and `liblzma-dev`. They can be installed using `apt`: sudo apt install pkg-config liblzma-dev ### Build and run To build or run the project, from the project root run: # only build cargo make build --release # build and run cargo run -- Sample rebase todo files can be found in ./test/fixtures. ### Tests Automated tests are available for all features and can be run with: cargo make test ### Docs API docs for the project are generated using Rust Doc: cargo make docs ### Linting An addition to the lints provided by rustc, this project uses Clippy to provide additional linting, run with: cargo make lint This will run lints using stable and nightly. The nightly lints may show errors, but will not result in a failure. ### Format This project uses rust-fmt to provide a consistent format. A helpful script will ensure that all files are formatted correctly: cargo make format ### Coverage The project use [Tarpaulin](https://github.com/xd009642/tarpaulin) to generate coverage reports. Coverage reports are used to find gaps in tests. To generate the coverage report: cargo make coverage An addition to the report printed to the CLI, an HTML report can be found in the `coverage` directory. ### Release #### Debian Building cargo make deb A deb file will be written to `target/debian/interactive-rebase-tool_*.deb`. #### Reproducible Builds Providing a [`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`](https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/#idm55) environment variable with a valid UNIX timestamp, defined in seconds, will ensure a reproducible build. ## Related Projects * [rebase-editor](https://github.com/sjurba/rebase-editor) is a very similar project written in Node.js. * [cj-git-patchtool](https://github.com/pflanze/cj-git-patchtool) is another tool for doing git rebase en masse. ## License Git Interactive Rebase Tool is released under the GPLv3 license.
