Git's New 'History' Command Offers Safer Commit Editing
Git's experimental 'history' command family, added in versions 2.54 and 2.55, provides safer alternatives to interactive rebase for splitting, rewording, and fixup commits. The feature includes subcommands like 'fixup', 'reword', and 'split', which map directly to common editing tasks. Developers must use Git 2.54+ and note the experimental status before relying on it.
