I built a small Tauri app that just shows your commits in a table and lets you edit message/author/date directly, plus find & replace with regex if you need to fix a bunch at once. It backs up the branch before it rewrites anything doesn't touch file contents, just metadata.

This looks cool! Are there screenshots available?

I'd put that in the repo not here.
YonathanTesfaye•24m ago
you're right, done
yboris•30m ago
Please put up this or another screenshot as the first thing you see in the README - please!

I'm reluctant to clone a repository and spend time on it just to find out the project looks crap and I don't want to use it. A screenshot saves other people's time :)

YonathanTesfaye•24m ago
done

Extra points for the name.
YonathanTesfaye•46m ago
Appreciate it! pick a commit, stab it
mellosouls•46m ago
Hmmm, this seems to be making easy something you normally should not do.
YonathanTesfaye•41m ago
Agreed mostly. The intent is local cleanup before you push like fixing a wrong author email across a batch or dates from a machine with a bad clock
Carrok•37m ago
So, exactly like a knife? Generally we don't want to cut people open, but when we need to do it, like during surgery, a sharp knife sure helps.
YonathanTesfaye•34m ago
that's it
iamcoder18•35m ago
This is cool, but has anyone ever needed to rewrite commit authors or dates?
icase•23m ago
yes; when i wanted to make it look like i didn’t procrastinate for a week and implement the entire feature in one day
xp84•23m ago
Yes, for instance it could be useful if someone’s been accidentally committing with a bogus email address. Or if you’re cleaning up some sort of mess and would like to recreate an accurate history.

Obviously as with any “force push” situation, the usual caveats apply if this is on a branch others have checked out, but if the mess is big enough, it is sometimes worth it to send everyone a script to reset or just to have people delete and re-check-out.

schainks•8m ago
If someone's been committing with a bogus email address and they're still working on the project, shouldn't they clean up their own commits?
blazarquasar•3m ago
Yeah, using this tool for example?
f1shy•18m ago
Yes. Absolutely! Many times I had a wrong configured terminal and messed up the author. Often I work in different projects, privately and in my work, and I use different authors for both
f1shy•16m ago
I would like to see something like this in magit. Other there is already?
gritzko•5m ago
With Beagle, I also converged on tabular interfaces. It is the Zeitgeist I guess. Handling commits one by one has become too tedious.
