Hunk-by-hunk and line-by-line staging for git, designed for building clean commit history!
Writing code is messy. Git history doesn't have to be.
During development we experiment, refactor, backtrack, and fix mistakes. If every step ends up as a commit, the history becomes noise. A curated history turns that process into a clear sequence of logical changes.
git-stage-batch helps you build that history incrementally by letting you stage changes hunk-by-hunk or line-by-line, shaping commits around meaning instead of the order the edits happened.
It's a tool for turning a chaotic working tree into clean Git history before pushing.
git-stage-batch adds named deferred change sets (“batches”), multi-pass staging, and finer-grained (line level) patch selection on top of the usual hunk workflow. I built it because `git add -p` and `git rebase` alone weren’t enough for large refactors. Its CLI mode is especially useful for getting AIs to help organize commits from a dirty working tree.
Interested in feedback from people who obsess over commit hygiene.
