`git revise` is a `git` subcommand to efficiently update, split, and rearrange

commits. It is heavily inspired by `git rebase`, however it tries to be more

efficient and ergonomic for patch-stack oriented workflows.

By default, `git revise` will apply staged changes to a target commit, then

update `HEAD` to point at the revised history. It also supports splitting

commits and rewording commit messages.

Unlike `git rebase`, `git revise` avoids modifying the working directory or

the index state, performing all merges in-memory and only writing them when

necessary. This allows it to be significantly faster on large codebases and

avoids unnecessarily invalidating builds.

## Install

```sh

$ pip install --user git-revise

```

Various people have also packaged `git revise` for platform-specific package

managers (Thanks!)

```sh

$ brew install git-revise

```

#### Fedora

```
