alt Hacker NewsI use the colon as EDITOR with Git when I want to do an interactive rebase combined with auto squash without having to edit the todo list.
I have an alias[1] for that which I call a quick interactive rebase:
riq = -c sequence.editor=: rebase --interactive

nice dotfile
That seems unsafe. It assumes that the editor is started via a shell command, and not executed directly. But there is no actual binary /usr/bin/: but there is a /usr/bin/true; I would use that instead.
