drop-bodies

regit drop-bodies [flags]

Strip the body of each commit in a range, keeping titles. Useful when generated or noisy multi-paragraph messages should collapse to their one-line subjects — for example before sharing a branch whose bodies were machine-written.

Flags

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--commits	VALUE	all	Rev-range A..B or a single ref.
--repo	VALUE	.	Path to the git repository.
--execute	BOOL	false	Apply (default: dry-run preview).
--force	BOOL	false	Allow rewriting already-pushed commits.
--sign	BOOL	false	Re-sign rewritten commits with your configured signing key.

Examples

Correct:

# preview dropping every commit body on the branch
regit drop-bodies

# drop bodies on the last 10 commits
regit drop-bodies --commits=HEAD~10..HEAD --execute

Limitations

• Commits without a body are skipped. Titles are never changed.
