To do an interactive git amend
, follow these steps:
- Make your changes to the file you want to amend.
- Add those changes to the staging area using git add .
- Run the interactive rebase command with git rebase -i HEAD~n, where 'n' is the number of commits you want to edit.
- Your default text editor will open with a list of the commits you're about to amend. Locate the commit you want to amend and change pick to edit next to that commit.
- Save and close the file to apply the changes and continue the rebase process.
- Git will pause at the chosen commit, allowing you to make your desired changes.
- Make your changes, then stage them using git add ..
- Amend the commit using git commit --amend and save the message.
- Continue the rebase process with git rebase --continue.
- Repeat steps 6-9 as needed for each commit you want to amend.
- Once you've amended all the desired commits, continue the rebase process as usual with git rebase --continue.
Your interactive git amend
is now complete!
