I use interactive rebase quite often, and particularly like the editor bundled with IntelliJ. But I do not always work with IntelliJ, and am not 'fluent' with Vim, so I tried to replicate roughly the same rebase experience within a TUI. I used a small TUI OCaml project i made last year.

The notable features are: - Move commits up and down, fixup, drop - Rename commits from the editor (without having to stop for a reword during the rebase run) - Visualize modified files along commits - 'Explode' a commit ,creating a commit for each modified file (a thing I found myself doing quite often)

Feedbacks (both on the tool and the code) and contributions welcome, hope it could fit other people needs too !

git-interactive-rebase-tool (https://github.com/MitMaro/git-interactive-rebase-tool) has been my go-to for many years now.

It is configured using `git config --global sequence.editor interactive-rebase-tool`. See if you are able to use that interface as well. That will make it easy to use without breaking existing workflows that use `git rebase -i`.

I will give it a try anyway.
