Similarly, if we have sequence like `fixup -c`, `fixup -c`, `fixup -c`
then also it will fixup
up all the content and here it allow user to edit the message, so
opens the editor once

It is good that we only open the editor once in this case - I'd not
thought about chains of `fixup -c` before reading this. Do we have a
test to verify that the editor is only opened once?

No, we don't. But I also agree, it's a good idea to add a test for it.
I think may be one sequence with 'fixup -C', 'fixup -c', 'fixup -c'
and the other 'squash' , 'fixup -C', 'fixup -c', is sufficient for
testing.

Those are both good sequences to test. I think we should check 'fixup -c' 'fixup' as well - with 'squash' 'fixup' we open the editor after the fixup so the user can see all the changes that will be committed when they edit the message, we should do the same for 'fixup -c' 'fixup'. Also 'fixup -c' 'squash' might be worth testing as well.

Best Wishes

Phillip


 Or any other suggestions for testing it ?

Thanks and regards,
