I'll certainly give it a try. Another tool I've been using (with varied degree of success) to enhance my git life is https://github.com/tummychow/git-absorb. If both of these worked flawlessly or maybe even officially incorporated in git, I'd be very happy.

This sounds like what jujutsu's workflow is like by default

I've heard of jujutsu, but I'm kinda over learning new tooling, specially experimental one. If it's not a drop-in replacement that makes my life better (like these easy "git plugins"), I'm basically not using.

fwiw you can mix git and jj commands on the same repo and everything will work fine. If you want to stick with 99% git commands, and use jj only as a replacement for git-absorb, you can. For this particular use case, jj will handle merges/tags descended from the fixed commit gracefully, and I don't think git-absorb handles that.

It is a drop-in replacement for git and completely compatible. Your coworkers do not need to know you're using a different tool. And you can continue to use git commands directly if you want.

git absorb is great, use it all the time.
