If curl was created today? Sure. But curl was something new when it came out, and it truly filled a void both as a cli tool and as a library. It needed no marketing. We needed it . It's hard now to imagine a world without a tool like

I am (what I assumed to be) an extensive user of fixup (usually invoked via interactive rebase). I'm intrigued by this but curious as to how it can really save so much time. Are people fixup'ing a lot more than I do? I might do it
