Crate git_rewrite 

Porcelain for rewriting Git repository history and trees.

git-rewrite wraps the git-filter-tree plumbing library in a user-friendly git-style CLI. It operates on the working tree’s index so results are immediately staged and ready to commit.

CLI

git rewrite tree [--only <PATTERN>]... [<TREEISH>]

Keep only Rust source files from HEAD, staged into the index:

git rewrite tree --only '**/*.rs'

Rewrite a specific commit, keeping two directories:

git rewrite tree abc1234 --only 'src/' --only 'tests/'

By default the working tree must be clean. Pass --allow-dirty to skip that check.

Library

exe::tree is the programmatic entry point. It opens a repository from the environment, filters the given tree-ish by glob patterns, and rewrites the index:

use git_rewrite::exe;
use git_rewrite::TreeArgs;

let args = TreeArgs {
    treeish: "HEAD".into(),
    patterns: vec!["**/*.rs".into()],
    allow_dirty: false,
};
exe::tree(&args)?;

Re-exports

pub use exe::TreeArgs;
