Git Interactive Rebase Quiz

Review

1. What is the primary purpose of the interactive rebase todo list?

   Interactive rebase exposes the sequence of actions used to replay the selected commits.
2. What does moving `pick` lines do?

   The todo list is processed in its displayed order.
3. What is the key distinction between `squash` and `fixup`?

   Squash combines commit messages for editing; fixup discards the later message.
4. What does `reword` primarily do?

   Reword stops to let the commit message be changed.
5. Why use `edit` in an interactive todo list?

   The edit action creates an intentional stop for amendment.
6. What does an explicit `drop` action mean?

   Drop deliberately omits the selected commit from the replay sequence.
7. What does `--autosquash` do?

   Autosquash moves matching marker commits beside their targets and changes their actions.
8. What should be verified after an interactive history rewrite?

   History editing requires verification of the resulting graph and metadata before publication.
