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 commit
