✏️ 1.3.3.2 Practice: Rewriting Git History with Rebase
Goal: Now that we've learned about how to change previous commits, let's put this new information into practice!
Warm Up
- When can you use the
git commit --amend
command to change a commit message? - What are the two things that the
git rebase -i
command can do?
Code
Complete the following exercise.
Rewriting Git History
Using the process outlined in the "Git: Rewriting History with Rebase" lesson, go back and alter two of the commits from a previous project:
- Use the
--amend
flag to change the most recent commit. - The rebase command to change any commit other than the most recent. Choose to either reword a commit message or squash and combine two commits.
Everyone in your pair or group should alter two commits.
