Rebase Exec

Setup

1. Run source setup.sh (or .\setup.ps1 in PowerShell)

Task

Doing local development we've created a bunch of commits. We would like to deliver them all to master. We would also like all commits to pass our tests.

Our test suite is contained in test.sh. We can use git rebase --exec to run the test suite for all commits. We have tagged the first commit in our history with initial-commit.

1. Run the test script using ./test.sh to see the most recent commit succeed
2. Use git rebase -i --exec ./test.sh initial-commit to run the test script on all commits. You will be shown the plan, you do not need to change anything.
3. The tests will run, and fail on a single commit. The tests fail because the test script changes. So you need to fix it
4. Change the following strings in test.sh
   • One test failed to all tests pass
   • exit 1 to exit 0
5. Stage test.sh and use git commit --amend to fix the broken commit
6. Run git rebase --continue to execute the test suite on the remaining commits
7. You may run verify.sh (or verify.ps1 in PowerShell) to verify your solution
