if you do /path/replay.sh without params it'll run from the beginning

#!/bin/bash

# Usage: replay.sh [start_commit]

START_COMMIT=$1
i=0
head=$(git rev-parse HEAD)

if [[ -n $START_COMMIT ]]; then
    # Checkout the starting commit
    git checkout "$START_COMMIT"
fi

# Take 5 seconds to prepare
echo "Preparing to replay commits in 5 seconds"
sleep 5

for commit in $(git log --reverse --pretty=format:%H)
do
    if [[ -n $START_COMMIT && $commit == $START_COMMIT ]]; then
        START_COMMIT=""
    fi

    if [[ -z $START_COMMIT ]]; then
        echo "Replaying commit $commit"
        git checkout "$commit"
        i=$((i+1))
        echo "Commit $i of $(git rev-list --count HEAD)"
        # If any data takes 5 seconds to load
        sleep 10
    fi
done

# Go back to the HEAD of the current branch
git checkout "$head"
