[Outreachy]: Help for Outreachy Application

Hi Everyone!

It has been about more than two weeks, since I joined the mailing list. Till now I have contributed to the microproject - "Modernize the test script" [1] that is accepted by Junio. Also I would like to Thank you all for the help and feedback on my first patch series. I learned a lot about the git command itself, how to work in a community with the mailing list and will try my best to get involved in the review discussions.

I have read the Outreachy projects and am interested in the project "Improve droping and rewording commits in Git interactive rebase". I spent some time understanding the project and have gone through its detailed explanation in the issue[2].

As mentioned that the first task is to implement --reword option in 'git commit'. Regarding this, I am unable to understand how it will work upon rebase --autosquash?

and regarding the task to include --drop option. In issue[2] it's clear to add this as an option in git revert but at the Outreachy page in the Internship task section, it's mentioned to implement --drop option in git reset. So, there is a bit of confusion regarding the correct way to implement.

I also looked into archives of the mailing list and found the patches[3] submitted by Philip for --reword option in git commit and need some more pointers about its status and how to start with its code ? Also, in the issue[2] as commented by Phillip regarding the patches[4] that implements reword. I would like to know if I can start with that mentioned work, if available.

Thanks and Regards, Charvi
