Git rewrite history - How to modify a specified commit in git

Questions

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

• HEAD
• Commit3
• Commit2
• Commit1

I know that I can modify head commit with git commit --amend, but how can I modify Commit1 , given that it is not the HEAD commit?

Answers

You can use git rebase, for example, if you want to modify back to commit bbc643cd, run

$ git rebase --interactive  bbc643cd^ 

In the default editor, modify pick to edit in the line whose commit you want to modify. Make your changes and then commit them with the same message you had before:

$ git commit --all --amend --no-edit

to modify the commit, and after that

$ git rebase --continue

to return back to the previous head commit.
