Mastering Git Fixups

May 4, 2026

Ever find a tiny typo right after you've committed your code? Instead of creating a new commit titled "fix typo" and cluttering your history, try using `git commit --fixup [commit-hash]`. This marks the new changes as a correction for a previous commit.

When you're ready to clean things up, run `git rebase -i --autosquash`. Git will automatically organize those fixups into their parent commits, keeping your pull request history incredibly clean and professional. It's a total game-changer for maintainable logs.
