Undo & squash

A one-button escape hatch for "that wasn't what I meant", and a quick way to fold a commit into its parent.

Undo last operation undo.last

The toolbar express lane that does the right thing depending on repo state.

Entry points

  • ToolbarA contextual amber "Undo merge / rebase / reset / pull" button — it slides in only when something is actually undoable (an op paused mid-rebase, or after a completed merge / rebase / reset / pull / un-pushed sync) and disappears after undoing. (The permanently-visible Undo was removed in 0.2.7.)
iOperations that don't set ORIG_HEAD (e.g. cherry-pick) deliberately never offer it — undo rewinds to ORIG_HEAD, which would be a stale target. The reflog remains the deep-history recovery tool.

What happens next

  1. If a merge / rebase / cherry-pick / revert is in progress, it aborts that operation.
  2. Otherwise it rewinds to ORIG_HEAD with reset --hard — the state before the last merge/rebase/reset/pull.
  3. A dirty tree is auto-stashed first, so nothing is lost.

Squash with parent commit.squash

Folds a commit into its parent — the two become one, messages combined — via the interactive-rebase machinery.
