Every messed up your git commits and wanted a do-over? I have….

That’s what git rebase is for and I found this super helpful page that explains how to use it:

Type this command to open your commits in an editor:

git rebase -i HEAD~10

Use various commands to modify the git commit history:

#  pick = use commit 
#  edit = use commit, but stop for amending 
#  squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit

The thing is, when I tried to use it initially, I tried to replace pick with squash on a whole bunch of lines at once and it mangled my local repo.

If you’re going to use this command, it’s safer to squash one line at a time.

When you save (:wq!) it appears you have to do it twice.

Then you can commit your changes as normal but it forced me to do a pull first.

Worked like a charm with those few tips.
