2025-06-10	Easily amend commits with git-instafix	/daily/2025/06/10/easily-amend-commits-git-instafix

How often do you make commits to a Git branch to later realise that you need to amend one of your unpushed commits?

A simple git commit --amend will only work on the most recent commit, so that won't work if you've added more commits after the one you want to amend.

You can make a temporary commit, rebase your branch and squash the temporary commit into the original one.

Or you can use git-instafix - a tool for easily fixing and amending old commits.

Instead of making a temporary commit, running git-instafix will show your unpushed commits - allowing you to select one and it will amend it for you in a single step, making it easier to keep your Git commit history cleaner and easier to read and review.
