Same here, I especially love `git rebase -i <base>` it opens an editor and I have an option to edit specific commits, reword the commit, squash multiple commits together (don't use this one often) or do fixup (which basically merges commit to the previous one)

If you haven’t yet, check out rebase’s --autosquash option, along with git commit --fixup or the commit message directives “fixup!” and “squash!”

I just learned about that recently, but haven't been able to put it in practice yet. The problem I encounter is having to specify which commit to fixup to when calling `--fixup`, which I think means having to look at my commit history. Instead, my process so far includes just describing the commit I want to fixup in my commit message, in a way that makes sense to me when I'm going through the interactive rebase.

Do you have a good way to deal with this?

Unfortunately the best way I’ve found is pulling up the log to copy either the commit hash for --fixup, or the message for fixup!/squash!

My one liner for viewing the git log is: git log --oneline --all --decorate [--graph]

I haven't tried, but I bet HEAD~n works for --fixup, or some quick rev-parse magic (which I don’t know much of).

Yes, that's exactly my process. In fact, I'm not even sure if I could predict what would happen when calling rebase without `-i`. Basically, my shell just autocompletes "git reb" to "git rebase -i origin/master".

Interactive rebase is the only way I do this now too, it’s so intuitive!

I believe that if you don't know interactive rebase, you don't know git ;)

Especially "git rebase -i -r" is an incredible tool.
