Break a previous commit into multiple commits

Question

Without creating a branch and doing a bunch of funky work on a new branch, is it possible to break a single commit into a few different commits after it\'s been committed to

Answer 1

Here is how to split one commit in IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, PhpStorm etc

1. In Version Control log window, select the commit you would like to split, right click and select the Interactively Rebase from Here

2. mark the one you want to split as edit, click Start Rebasing

3. You should see a yellow tag is placed meaning that the HEAD is set to that commit. Right click on that commit, select Undo Commit

4. Now those commits are back to staging area, you can then commit them separately. After all change has been committed, the old commit becomes inactive.
