git-absorb is a Rust CLI tool that automatically creates git fixup! commits by matching uncommitted changes to the ancestor commits that last touched those lines. It is a port of Mercurial's hg absorb, streamlining interactive rebase workflows for applying review feedback.

Use cases

• automatically fold review feedback into the correct commits
• create fixup commits without manually finding commit SHAs
• keep feature branch commits atomic after code review
• avoid manual interactive rebase to amend older commits
• apply uncommitted changes to draft ancestor commits

When to choose

• you maintain feature branches with multiple commits and receive review feedback
• you want atomic commits without tedious manual fixup/rebase work
• you already use git commit --fixup and git rebase --autosquash regularly

When to avoid

• you work with linear single-commit branches where amending suffices
• your branch history is already pushed/shared and immutable
• you need changes absorbed into commits outside the rebase base range
