Show HN: Git–fiddle – Edit commit messages, author and timestamps during rebase
- amerine 10y agoThanks for sharing. This is neat.
- yarper 10y agoHow is this different from interactive rebases?
- felixschl 10y agoThe README does not do a good job at conveying this, but you essentially get to see this in your editor buffer: ``` pick <sha> <timestamp> by: <author> [<message>] ``` This tool will then apply any changes to <timestamp>, <author> and optionally <message> to the picked commit.
- fiatjaf 10y agoThat's what I always expect `git rebase -i` will do, but it doesn't.
- ah- 10y agoIt would be nice to include installation instructions.
- michaelmior 10y agoAgreed. _fiddle_seq_editor and the fiddle script (renamed git-fiddle) need to be on your PATH and executable.
- fiatjaf 10y agoI think gitfiddle would be a great name for a service that let you quickly share unnamed, temporary git repositories, showing them to other people, then taking them down, without the friction of GitHub. Like a git pastebin. In fact, I think gitbin would be better. gitfiddle should be a service where you could do all this, but would also offer ways of messing with the repository (doing interactive rebases, for example) from the web interface.
- ics 10y agoGithub Gists are close enough to what you describe sans the interactive rebase. You can create multiple files at once, all edits made in the web interface are committed to the repo, and all of it can be cloned and used with "real" git at any point.
- fiatjaf 10y agoReally? Are GitHub gists actual git repositories? Why no one says a line about it? What is the repo URL?
- detaro 10y agoThe "Embed: " button to the left of the embed URL is actually a dropdown, where you can switch to the clone URLs.
- wingerlang 10y ago> Are GitHub gists actual git repositories? Yes https://help.github.com/articles/about-gists/ https://help.github.com/articles/about-gists/
- ashitlerferad 10y agoJust mail around the output of `git bundle`.
