git commit --amend -m "New commit message"change old commit message in git
git commit --amend -m "New commit message"
#This changes the message of the most recent commit.
git rebase -i <commit hash you want to change>
#This allows you to make changes to commits starting from the HEAD of the
#branch tree to the specified commit.
#1.This open your default editor with a list of commits and actions for each.
#By default, the action is `pick`.
#2. For any commit you wish to change the message, change `pick` to `reword`.
#Don't change the commit message.
#3. Save and close the editor.
#4. For each commit that is set to `reword`, the editor will reopen for change
#to be made. After each change save and close the editor and wait for the next.
#4. Once you're done editing all the commit messages, you'll return to the
#command prompt, and have a new tree with the updated messages.
#Other actions that can be applied are:
#`p` or `pick` – to keep the commit as is
#`r` or `reword` – to keep the commit's content but alter the commit message
#`e`or `edit` – to keep the commit's content but stop before committing
#so that you can:
# - add new content or files
# - remove content or files
# - alter the content that was going to be committed
# `s` or `squash` – to combine this commit's changes into the previous commit
#(the commit above it in the list)
#`f` or `fixup` – to combine this commit's change into the previous one but
#drop the commit message
#`x` or `exec` – to run a shell command
#`d` or `drop` – to delete the commithow to change a commit message
git commit --amend
git push --force-with-lease <repository> <branch>git change commit message of old commit
Step1: git rebase -i HEAD~n to do interactive rebase for the last n commits affected. (i.e. if you want to change a commit message 3 commits back, do git rebase -i HEAD~3)
git will pop up an editor to handle those commits, notice this command:
# r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
that is exactly we need!
Step2: Change pick to r for those commits that you want to update the message. Don't bother changing the commit message here, it will be ignored. You'll do that on the next step. Save and close the editor.
Note that if you edit your rebase 'plan' yet it doesn't begin the process of letting you rename the files, run:
git rebase --continue
If you want to change the text editor used for the interactive session
Step3: Git will pop up another editor for every revision you put r before. Update the commit msg as you like, then save and close the editor.
Step4: After all commits msgs are updated. you might want to do git push -f to update the remote.Copyright © 2021 Codeinu
