Resetting a messy commit history by basing changes on a clean base branch, then re-creating commits in logical, review-friendly units.
Ask the skill to recommit your current work by specifying a base branch or letting it auto-detect main/master, then follow prompts to craft structured commits.

You can recommit messy git changes by soft resetting to the merge-base of a base branch, then re-staging and re-committing diffs in logical units. This preserves all changes while letting you craft individual, review-friendly commits.
A git soft reset to the merge-base moves your branch pointer back while keeping all file changes staged in the index. Recommit uses this mechanism to preserve your work intact, allowing you to selectively re-commit the diff in structured, logical units.
Yes, recommit auto-detects main or master as the base branch for flexible workflows. Alternatively, you can explicitly specify a custom base branch to reset against, ensuring the merge-base calculation aligns with your repository's specific branching strategy.
The best way to prepare a large diff for code review is to recommit the changes into smaller, logical units. By soft resetting the branch to its base and using interactive staging, you create focused commits that make review feedback easier to manage and track.
Yes, interactive staging with git add -p is supported to craft precise commits. Recommit prompts you to selectively stage specific hunks of your diff, ensuring each reorganized commit contains only the relevant code changes for clearer history.
To prevent accidental data loss during a git reset and recommit, the skill implements safety prompts before executing per-commit actions. Because the soft reset preserves changes in the index, your work remains staged and recoverable throughout the reorganization process.
