Simplify Your Code Reviews with Interactive Rebase
summary
Shows how to clean up a messy Git feature branch into a clear, logical commit history using interactive rebase (git rebase -i). Covers using reword, edit, fixup/squash to rename commits, split a WIP commit into separate changes (database query, model, route), reorder commits, and merge fixup patches while preserving useful messages; also gives safety advice (don’t rewrite branches others use, prefer force-with-lease, and use git rebase --abort to recover from conflicts).
