I use it *all* the time now.

I use it *all* the time now. +1. Before that, I was using `x bash`, and ended up doing `git rebase --continue` in that shell in many cases, which didn't end up so well when I terminated said shell (just an error message, though, nothing actually broke as a consequence). This feature is a blessing.

I use it *all* the time now. You're welcome. As you know I am currently taking a break form #git, and it turns out I had my email filters configured wrongly, which means I just realized there is a bunch of emails where I am cc'd. I do not use the break command myself yet, as I am stuck with an older git version on Mac for now (Macs and Git don't seem to go well together, if only there was an active Apple upstream person...).

I have been using 'x false' to generate an error exit status to interrupt the rebase and drop into the current shell. Then 'git rebase --continue' to resume. ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2019-04-01 15:24 Subject: Re: "Give me a break"... well, you gave me one Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1904011723450.41%40tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Stefan, On Fri, 29 Mar 2019, Stefan Beller wrote: > Am Mi., 6.

I usually use Homebrew to fix that...

Indeed, but it used to work quite well for me, too. I usually made extra sure to start a new session by using `exec bash -i`... > I have been using 'x false' to generate an error exit status to interrupt > the rebase and drop into the current shell. Then 'git rebase --continue' > to resume. That's not so scriptable. I have a couple of scripts around the interactive rebase. Besides, `b` is much shorter to type than `x false` (and I also cannot tyop it late at night as `x flase`, although that would have the same effect, I guess, of stopping the interactive rebase).
