commit-rewriter 0.1

When you use AI coding agents to build projects, your version control history can get messy fast. Automated assistants often leave behind confusing notes, internal references, or what Simon Willison calls "coding agent cruft" that you might not want visible in a public repository.

To solve this, Willison built a lightweight utility named commit-rewriter. It spins up a quick local web page where you can review and edit recent commit descriptions across your project, safely creating a backup branch before updating your history.

For creators building with AI, keeping your repository history readable is a great habit. Tools like this take the stress out of Git commands and make it simple to present polished, professional code to collaborators or future employers.
