6.8.1 Editing Rebase Sequences

C-c C-c     (with-editor-finish)

Finish the current editing session by returning with exit code 0. Git then uses the rebase instructions it finds in the file.

C-c C-k     (with-editor-cancel)

Cancel the current editing session by returning with exit code 1. Git then forgoes starting the rebase sequence.

RET     (git-rebase-show-commit)

Show the commit on the current line in another buffer and select that buffer.

SPC     (git-rebase-show-or-scroll-up)

Show the commit on the current line in another buffer without selecting that buffer. If the revision buffer is already visible in another window of the current frame, then instead scroll that window up.

DEL     (git-rebase-show-or-scroll-down)

Show the commit on the current line in another buffer without selecting that buffer. If the revision buffer is already visible in another window of the current frame, then instead scroll that window down.
