Create Fixup Commits

[pe]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Creating a fixup commit is complex. It's not possible only with gitui and possibe but still cumbersome with other tools.

Describe the solution you'd like

• stage the changes
• instead of commit I hit the fixup shortcut
• gitui shows the log and I can select the commit I want to fixup
• gitui creates a fixup commit which I can rebase later

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using gitui:

• stage the changes
• switch to "log"
• select the commit I want to fixup, copy the hash
• quit gitui
• git commit --fixup + pasted hash

In other git clients (sourcetree, tig) I created an external command git commit --fixup {SHA}. Then I

• stage the changes
• switch to the log
• select the commit I want to fixup
• launch my external command.

(I'm open to implement this myself. It would depend on the effort and your willingness to accept it though.)

I'm still dearly missing this, is this blocked by the same missing library functionality as #32 (comment) ?

Same here. I frequently use the amend feature in the commit window.
When I want to fixup an older commit, I usually revert to git log and git commit --fixup (I tend to forget the hashes immediately, so they have to remain on screen).
Having a fixup command in the log view that helps creating the commit message would already be a major improvement.

ok if its just about rewording a commit msg we can probbaly easily hack something together. reuse the CommitComponent and extend Mode with a Fixup variant that take a CommitId for input

[extrawurst]

@pe still interested to work on that?

[pe]

Not really at the moment. Sorry.

#312 does most of the heavy lifting already
