How to modify a specified commit?

Question

I usually submit a list of commits for review. If I have the following commits:

1. HEAD
2. Commit3
3. Commit2

Answer 1

Based on Documentation

Amending the message of older or multiple commit messages

git rebase -i HEAD~3 

The above displays a list of the last 3 commits on the current branch, change 3 to something else if you want more. The list will look similar to the following:

pick e499d89 Delete CNAME
pick 0c39034 Better README
pick f7fde4a Change the commit message but push the same commit.

Replace pick with reword before each commit message you want to change. Let say you change the second commit in the list, your file will look like the following:

pick e499d89 Delete CNAME
reword 0c39034 Better README
pick f7fde4a Change the commit message but push the same commit.

Save and close the commit list file, this will pop up a new editer for you to change your commit message, change the commit message and save.

Finaly Force-push the amended commits.

git push --force
