> scary rebase -i commands that can leave your tree in a half-broken state if you so much as sneeze `git rebase --abort` exists. One can also set a tag or something before doing the rebase, do whatever, then `git reset --hard $set_tag` to go back. Nothing to be scared of. Not like the prior state is lost.

What's up with the fix commits? Maybe I misunderstood you, but there ain't nothing wrong in fixing stuff you offer in your PR. And there can also be multiple commits even before the PR while you're developing your PR.
> What's up with the fix commits? They shouldn't show up in the commit history. In a PR, you merge them in the commit that they actually fix. Otherwise when you use git blame to get the context of why a line of code was changed, all you see is a useless "fixup" message that is worse than having nothing. Anyone can do better than a fixup commit. And doing metter means merging them into the actual commits that are fixe…
Isn't this solved if you squash the commits when merging the PR? I personally don't care that much about the commits inside a PR, the are just temporary because when a PR is merged they are squashed and you only get one commit for the whole feature on the main branches

> I'll end up with this state, where `E` remains untouched? Can't, because a commit's hash takes into account the parent hashes. Haven't used --update-refs, but reading it, it should result in your third graph. So, > is there a way to get `git rebase` to have the same behavior? is already the case.
> Haven't used --update-refs, but reading it, it should result in your third graph. I don't think it does. I tried locally: mkdir test; cd test; git init touch a; git add a; git commit -m 'a' touch b; git add b; git commit -m 'b' touch c; git add c; git commit -m 'c' git checkout -b branched-feature HEAD~ touch d; git add d; git commit -m 'd' git checkout main echo 'change' > b; git add b; git commit -m 'fix b' git r…
Add --oneline to get the compact version from the other reply.
I don’t consider myself a coder or programmer, but learning git was like an organizational superpower for my particular brain wiring. I use it for websites, design projects, electronics engineering, music composition, personal knowledge bases, remote administration scripts, config management, snippets, so many applications and so many features for one system. It’s not always perfect, but I tell everyone I work with t…
How do you use it for music composition?
What's also cool is the more advanced llms know lilypond and music theory too, so they can do things like... I don't know, check for counterpoint errors. I've used it with limited success to expand my jazz lead sheets into two-hand piano arrangements just for practice exercises.
Complete bullshit. Might as well say "scary screwdriver that can turn up in your recturm if you so much as sneeze". Sure, I believe that might have happened to you (heard stories from friends that work in the emergency room), but I run rebase -i 10 times during the time I work on each branch (literally: I don't even care to write "proper" commit messages while writing the code, will reorganize and clean them up later anyway), and it never happened to me.
BTW I have made a notion doc on git commands: https://rushilpatel.notion.site/git

git (and other version control systems) take what you made, organize and preserve it, and you can get any number of copies at a moment's notice.
It is good for people to be able to do work and not worry about it.
I remember reading David Allen's book Getting Things Done years ago. It takes effort to read through his writing, but he had good ideas.
One thing he mentioned is that you need a 'trusted system' where you can collect and organize your thoughts. It lets you offload what you're worrying about until the time you need to do something with it.
I actually use omnifocus to do this for my tasks/projects/lists, but for what I actually do on a computer, I trust git to organize and preserve the software (and some data) I have written.

I have so many branches named `temp` or `before-rebase` for exactly that reason; I'm using them effectively as tags, but branches can be moved around with less ceremony than tags (since tags are designed to be for things like v1.2.3, placed once and then almost never moved again), so I usually just do `git branch before-rebase/some-feature` before running a big `rebase -i`. I've almost never needed to run `get reset…

Do you use git reflog?

That's just too primitive of a workflow, so repeating it will not run into the risk. You need to add an actual conflict in some feature branch and get stuck being forced to resolve it to compete the rebase to appreciate the op warning
