DESCRIPTION
-----------
OPTIONS
-------
-<newbase>::
+--onto <newbase>::
Starting point at which to create the new commits. If the
--onto option is not specified, the starting point is
<upstream>. May be any valid commit, and not just an
--skip::
Restart the rebasing process by skipping the current patch.
+--edit-todo::
+ Edit the todo list during an interactive rebase.
+
-m::
--merge::
Use merging strategies to rebase. When the recursive (default) merge
Pass the <strategy-option> through to the merge strategy.
This implies `--merge` and, if no strategy has been
specified, `-s recursive`. Note the reversal of 'ours' and
- 'theirs' as noted in above for the `-m` option.
+ 'theirs' as noted above for the `-m` option.
-q::
--quiet::
with the `--interactive` option explicitly is generally not a good
idea unless you know what you are doing (see BUGS below).
+-x <cmd>::
+--exec <cmd>::
+ Append "exec <cmd>" after each line creating a commit in the
+ final history. <cmd> will be interpreted as one or more shell
+ commands.
++
+This option can only be used with the `--interactive` option
+(see INTERACTIVE MODE below).
++
+You may execute several commands by either using one instance of `--exec`
+with several commands:
++
+ git rebase -i --exec "cmd1 && cmd2 && ..."
++
+or by giving more than one `--exec`:
++
+ git rebase -i --exec "cmd1" --exec "cmd2" --exec ...
++
+If `--autosquash` is used, "exec" lines will not be appended for
+the intermediate commits, and will only appear at the end of each
+squash/fixup series.
--root::
Rebase all commits reachable from <branch>, instead of
limiting them with an <upstream>. This allows you to rebase
- the root commit(s) on a branch. Must be used with --onto, and
+ the root commit(s) on a branch. When used with --onto, it
will skip changes already contained in <newbase> (instead of
- <upstream>). When used together with --preserve-merges, 'all'
- root commits will be rewritten to have <newbase> as parent
+ <upstream>) whereas without --onto it will operate on every change.
+ When used together with both --onto and --preserve-merges,
+ 'all' root commits will be rewritten to have <newbase> as parent
instead.
--autosquash::
use shell features (like "cd", ">", ";" ...). The command is run from
the root of the working tree.
+----------------------------------
+$ git rebase -i --exec "make test"
+----------------------------------
+
+This command lets you check that intermediate commits are compilable.
+The todo list becomes like that:
+
+--------------------
+pick 5928aea one
+exec make test
+pick 04d0fda two
+exec make test
+pick ba46169 three
+exec make test
+pick f4593f9 four
+exec make test
