Re: How to display "HEAD~*" in "git log"

[kostix@bswap.ru]

By the way, you can consider "going more interactive" with the approach which
involves scripting. For instance, you can use any of the "fuzzy finders"
such as the venerable fzf [1] to interactively select a commit to rebase -
something like

  $ git log --oneline -50 | fzf | cut -d ' ' -f 1

would produce the log of the last 50 commits, allow you to interactively
select a commit of interest by typing some of the characters of its message
and/or hash and then print the selected hash.

This can be easily combined with rebasing: for instance, if you have the above
encantation available as an alias named "select" or a custom script named
"git-select", you could do

  $ git rebase -i $(git select)~

to not even copy or memorize anyting.


I, for one, routinely use fzf to pick a branch for checkout.
