NAME

       git-absorb - Automatically absorb staged changes into your current branch

SYNOPSIS

       git absorb [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       You have a feature branch with a few commits. Your teammate reviewed the branch and
       pointed out a few bugs. You have fixes for the bugs, but you don’t want to shove them all
       into an opaque commit that says fixes, because you believe in atomic commits. Instead of
       manually finding commit SHAs for git commit --fixup, or running a manual interactive
       rebase, do this:

           $ git add $FILES_YOU_FIXED

           $ git absorb --and-rebase
             (or)
           $ git absorb
           $ git rebase -i --autosquash master

       git absorb will automatically identify which commits are safe to modify, and which indexed
       changes belong to each of those commits. It will then write fixup! commits for each of
       those changes. You can check its output manually if you don’t trust it, and then fold the
       fixups into your feature branch with git’s built-in autosquash functionality.

FLAGS

       -r, --and-rebase
           Run rebase if successful

       -n, --dry-run
           Don’t make any actual changes

       -f, --force
           Skip safety checks

       -h, --help
           Prints help information

       -V, --version
           Prints version information

       -v, --verbose
           Display more output

OPTIONS

       -b <base>, --base <base>
           Use this commit as the base of the absorb stack

USAGE

        1. git add any changes that you want to absorb. By design, git absorb will only consider
           content in the git index.

        2. git absorb. This will create a sequence of commits on HEAD. Each commit will have a
           fixup!  message indicating the message (if unique) or SHA of the commit it should be
           squashed into.

        3. If you are satisfied with the output, git rebase -i --autosquash to squash the fixup!
           commits into their predecessors. You can set the [GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR][] environment
           variable if you don’t need to edit the rebase TODO file.

        4. If you are not satisfied (or if something bad happened), git reset --soft to the
           pre-absorption commit to recover your old state. (You can find the commit in question
           with git reflog.) And if you think git absorb is at fault, please [file an issue][].

CONFIGURATION

   STACK SIZE
       When run without --base, git-absorb will only search for candidate commits to fixup within
       a certain range (by default 10). If you get an error like this:

           WARN stack limit reached, limit: 10

       edit your local or global .gitconfig and add the following section:

           [absorb]
               maxStack=50 # Or any other reasonable value for your project
