Regit is a CLI tool written in Go that allows you to rewrite git histories. Changing ownership, timestamps, even commit messages to follow conventions, all in a single command

## Warning
Using regit multiple times might cause object corruption in your git repository. Please use it after backup up your .git folder.

Docs

Regit currently supports 5 commands:

1. `regit recommit`: Reads all the commit diffs and writes better commit messages, then commits them again.
2. `regit own`: Makes you the author of all the commits.
3. `regit blame `: Makes the user specified by `` and `` the author of all the commits.
4. `regit nuke /path/to/file`: Removes the file specified from all the commits in the repository.
5. `regit retime `: Rewrites the commit times of all the commits in the repository to be of `x` hours in the past, evenly spaced. Can be any number of hours.
6. `regit rewind `: Rewinds the commit times of all the commits to be pulled `x` hours in the past. Can be any number of hours.
7. `regit fastforward `: Fast forwards the commit times of all the commits to be pushed `x` hours in the future. Can be any number of hours.

## Common Flags

The following flags can be used with any command:

- `--source` or `-s`: Specify the path to the git repo. If not specified, the current directory is used.
- `--branch` or `-b`: Specify a branch.
- `--verbose` or `-v`: Enable verbose output. This will print additional details about the operations being performed.
- `--quiet` or `-q`: Enable quiet output. This will suppress most output, printing only essential information.

## Credits
Regit uses [git-filter-repo](https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo) under the hood to rewrite git histories. I would like to thank the authors and contributors of git-filter-repo for their work.
