commit-rewriter
Local web app for editing local commit messages to a Git repository.
Usage
uvx commit-rewriter /path/to/repository
Or omit the path if the repository is your current working directory.
By default, the app edits the latest 100 commits reachable from the local branch checked out when the server starts. Use --branch to select a different local branch:
uvx commit-rewriter /path/to/repository --branch my-feature
Defaults to running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 - use -p/--port 8002 to run on a different port.
Edit multiple commit messages using the web UI. When you apply them the tool will first create a branch to back up the repository prior to making the changes.
Installation
pip install commit-rewriter
# or
uv tool install commit-rewriter
