A tutorial introducing a custom git alias 'fixup' that simplifies amending past commits using git's rebase and autosquash functionality. The article explains how interactive rebasing works and provides a practical script for developers to streamline their commit history cleanup. It highlights Magit (an Emacs git interface) as a complementary tool for this workflow.
