Remove "fixup!" message from `git commit --fixup HEAD`

Question

I often use git rebase -i HEAD~N to squash/fixup all my interm commits, or the one I just did, into the former before pushing upstream.

I learned about git commit --fixup HEAD which helps me avoid a number of keystrokes.

The issue is it adds "fixup!" to the previous commit message, any way to make it stop doing that?

Answer 1

If you just want to add the current staged changes to the last commit you probably should use

git commit --amend --no-edit

with the --no-edit git does not prompt for a new commit message.

As @phd said, fixup is ment to be used with rebase -i --autosquash
