Visual sequence editor for interactive rebasing.
Head out to the releases tab ➡️ and grab an executable that suits your system.
git config --global sequence.editor ChronoGit
For changing it only for one rebase:
GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR="ChronoGit" git rebase -i <label>
ChronoGit takes heavy inspiration from vim keybindings. There are 3 modes:
- Normal mode - Moving and editing single command
- Visual mode - Moving and editing blocks of commands
- Insert mode - Editing command arguments (label, merge, reset & exec)
From Normal mode you can use V to switch to visual mode.
Use I from normal mode on label, merge, reset or exec to edit
it's argument. Esc in any mode to switch back to normal mode.
In normal mode, only current command is considered selected. In visual, all between visual mode start and current are considered selected.
Use Up, Down, PageUp, PageDown, Home and End to move around.
You can change all commit current selection to pick, reword, edit, squash, fixup, drop by pressing the first letter.
K and J are used to move the current selection up and down respectively.
You can add break, exec, label, reset and merge after your selection.
Hold Shift to add them before your selection.
For Undo & Redo use U and Ctrl+R.
Use Abort to discard current work. Use Finish to rebase.
Commit details window can be toggled with Ctrl+C.
You can change color of commits in the Commit colors window. You can color commits:
- With the same color (
Ctrl+S) - By committer (
Ctrl+C) - By date (
Ctrl+D) - By regex (Commits with same regex group
$i$ will be colored same.)
As there are not that many colors, they might need to be reused.
For adding break or exec command after each committing command (pick, reword or edit), go to Global commands.
Tip: You can always remap controls from the menu.
