Developer Creates New Git Utility for Commit Organization Workflow

By

8mo ago· 4 min readen

Summary

The author describes creating a new Git utility tool called 'what-changed-twice' to help with their development workflow involving multiple commit cleanup passes. They explain their typical process of making commits that may not be organized initially, then using git-add and git-rebase to group related changes into coherent commits. The tool appears to analyze commit patterns or changes, but the author struggles with naming and is seeking a better name for their utility.
