tummychow/git-absorb

git-absorb is a command-line tool that automatically integrates staged changes into existing commits within a Git branch. It provides options to control rebase behavior, handle authorship, and manage commit stacks, while supporting configuration via Git settings. The system includes comprehensive test infrastructure to verify its functionality across various repository states and commit types.

This change introduces the git-absorb tool, which automatically absorbs staged changes into existing commits in your current branch. It provides CLI options to control behavior such as generating fixups for foreign authors (--force-author), bypassing detached HEAD checks (--force-detach), running rebase automatically (--and-rebase), and generating shell completions. The tool supports configuration via git config keys like absorb.forceAuthor and absorb.oneFixupPerCommit, and includes features like dry-run mode, stack limits, and squash commit creation.
