Git Interactive Rebase & Squash Cheatsheet Generator

Generate Git interactive rebase cheatsheets, squash vs fixup references, and recovery runbooks for clean Git history.

Rebase Target Configuration

Upstream Target BranchCommand generated: git rebase -i origin/main

Number of Recent Commits to Inspect (HEAD~N)Command generated: git rebase -i HEAD~4

💡 Squash vs Fixup Quick Rule:

Use squash (s) when you want to merge commits and keep or edit commit log details.

Use fixup (f) when you want to discard the commit message entirely (e.g. "fix typo" or "format").

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between git rebase -i and git merge?

Git merge creates a non-destructive merge commit preserving exact branch topology. Git rebase replays your commits linearly onto the upstream tip, producing a clean, linear git history without extra merge commits.

What should I do if a rebase goes wrong?

Run `git rebase --abort` to return your working directory and HEAD pointer back to the exact commit state before the rebase started.
