Git-absorb is an open-source tool that automatically folds uncommitted changes into existing draft commits, mimicking the functionality of Facebook's hg-absorb for Mercurial. It streamlines the code review process by intelligently mapping line-level modifications to their appropriate ancestors without manual intervention.
Background
Developers often need to amend previous commits during code reviews to address feedback, which traditionally requires manual use of 'git commit --fixup' and interactive rebasing. This tool automates that specific workflow to save time and reduce errors.
