## What it is
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
