Git-absorb is a command-line tool that automates creating fixup commits in Git. The tool analyzes staged changes, uses git blame to find the last commit that touched those lines, and then generates the appropriate fixup! commits. This streamlines cleaning up commit history before creating a pull request.

Niche workflow optimizations are still fertile ground for dev tools. Hyper-specific developer tools can gain traction by solving one annoying problem well.
