What it does

Git-machete is a tool that automates git repository organization and rebase/merge workflows, streamlining the process of managing complex git histories.

When to use it

•When you need to simplify a complex git history with many merges and rebases
•When you want to automate repetitive git tasks, such as squashing commits or resolving conflicts
•When you're working on a large project with multiple collaborators and need to enforce a consistent git workflow

Ready-to-paste prompt

git machete rebase -i --squash-commits --resolve-conflicts

Heads up: Make sure you have a clean git repository with no uncommitted changes before running git-machete, as it will modify your repository's history and may overwrite local changes
