The article advocates for using Git's experimental 'history' command (introduced in v2.54/2.55) as a powerful alternative to switching to tools like jj for managing complex branch histories. It highlights subcommands like 'fixup', 'reword', and 'split' that allow users to rewrite commits and automatically update all descendant branches without leaving the standard Git workflow.
Background
Git recently introduced experimental commands to improve interactive history management, aiming to reduce the complexity of rebasing and fixing commits across multiple branches.
