Make your commits go on a zeitreise
I like to rebase branches alot for a clean commit history. When you reorder your
commits like this they seem to appear in a weird order in some UIs. I always get
confused by this and have to look up the output of git log on my terminal.
This tool helps rebasing a branch and rewriting the commit timestamps in a way
that makes them appear in order.
zeitreise is the german word for timetravel.
This is currently very fragile as I hacked it together in a few hours. Don't hold me responsible for anything that happens using this.
You should reorder and edit your commits using git rebase -i as usual.
Afterwards you can use this tool to align the timestamps with the commit order.
./zeitreise master
This will take at least N seconds where N is the number of commits you are rebasing.
0.0.1
- rewrite only commits where it is required
- try to obtain as much of the history as possible
