Agreed, don't want to discourage this project as it is helpful to have more tools to learn the rather deep and complex Git interface, but changing Git functionality under the hood is a big no-no in my mind. Using this tool on an existing Git repository and rewriting history could get the book thrown at you by more senior engineers.

We're all professionals working in a professional environment. "Git jail" isn't a thing. The "Git courts" won't take away your ability to use Git.

If anything, this would be an opportunity for a senior engineer, you know the people that are supposed to mentor and role model juniors, to give guidance on how to revert in the future.

I rewrite history all the time. And this is just porcelain. No one will be able to tell whether you rebase/reset/amend or use it.

I've got more than a decade working with the tool and use rebase daily. Hasn't been a problem yet.
