Git offers a powerful feature called interactive rebase that allows users to fix mistakes in commit messages or modify commits. By using the "git rebase -i" command, users can edit, drop, squash, or fixup commits. This feature is especially useful when making changes to the last commit or when rebasing to a commit beyond the one that needs to be changed. Git's interactive rebase provides flexibility and control over commit history, making it a valuable tool for developers.
Gitless is an alternative to Git that simplifies many of its features, including a tracking system that automates commits and a simplified branching system. It has a simplified command line interface and is backwards-compatible with Git. It is a powerful tool for those who don't need the full feature set of Git and decreases the steep learning curve associated with it.
