git-revise is a Git subcommand and Python library for efficiently updating, splitting, and rearranging commits.
It’s aimed at developers who work with patch stacks and frequently need to amend earlier commits without the overhead and disruption of a full interactive rebase. Its main advantage is that it performs merges in memory, avoiding unnecessary changes to the working directory and index state.
This is free and open source software.
