# It is bad practice to rewrite history. Works best if no one has pushed commits on top of remote branch you want to rewrite history of.
​
# 1. Rebase to commit you want to change (~1 means the first ancestor of the specified commit)
git rebase -i <hash>~1
​
# Can also do this
git rebase -i HEAD~4 # where HEAD~4 = last 3 commits
​
# 2. Rename pick to reword (in opened editor) & save/quit
​
# 3. Change commit message in editor and save
​
# 4. Overwrite and remove duplicate commits
