GIT cheat sheet

Modify GIT History

• To remove commits from the history (link)

  The command below opens an editor with the history of the last 6 commits. Remove lines that represent the commits you want removed

  git rebase -i HEAD~6
  

  Add the changes and run

  git rebase --continue
  

• List all authors

  git shortlog -sne        # Current branch
  git shortlog -sne --all  # All branches
  

• Modify a specific commit (link)

  git rebase --interactive bbc643cd~
  

  In the editor that opens, mark the desired commit as editable (change pick to e).

  If you want to change the initial commit, best add an empty compit before and proceed as above (based on link)

  git checkout --orphan empty-initial-commit
  git rm -r --cached .
  git clean -d -f
  git commit --allow-empty -m 'Empty initial commit'
  git checkout main
  git rebase empty-initial-commit
  git branch -d empty-initial-commit
