Mastering the Git Fixup Workflow
March 6, 2026
Ever committed a small typo right after a big feature push? Instead of creating a messy "fix typo" commit, try using `git commit --fixup <hash>`. It marks the commit as a correction for a specific previous one. When you're ready to clean up your history, run `git rebase -i --autosquash`, and Git will automatically merge those tiny fixes into their respective parents. It keeps your PR history incredibly clean and easy for reviewers to follow without manual shuffling.
