Modify Git Commit Using Git Rebase

To edit commit message, reorder commit, delete commit or squash commit, we can use git rebase -i or git rebase --interactive then change first word to any command that provided by git.

use --root to include root commit

List commands:

• p, pick = use commit
• r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
• e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
• s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
• f, fixup = like “squash”, but discard this commit's log message
• x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell
