How to change the name of a commit in Git?

Question

git

In general, I fix file changes in something like this.
git commit -a -m "comment"
but in the "comment", at first, he wrote some garbage.
And I would like, in some cases, to correct this "comment".
Can this be done somehow?

Answer 1

git commit --amend fixes (overwrites) only the last commit. If you need to change the entire history of the project, use the git rebase -i --root command , which you can read about here . Naturally commits should not be public.

Answer 2

--amend
but only if you didn't have time to push
