About Interactively Rebase

rebase -i or rebase --interactive is a strong command that

eanble drop commit modify commit or adjust commit order

Start Command

git rebase -i <start-commit>

this command will start a vim editor to ask for what you want to change interactively

Decide What to Change

in vim editor, you can input a serial of commands, to decide how to handle every commit after start commit

default editor state is like this, if you not edit it, means nothing will change

pick d34548f Add feature 1
pick 98fb1b9 Add feature 2
pick cbf941f Add feature 3
pick 1499a17 Add feature 4
pick 3e14876 Add feature 5

if you want changed something, you should edit commands above

and then resolve conflicts like normal rebase mode required

that is a collection of repeated work like

git add edit file git rebase --continue edit message

Modify Command

interactive mode supports a large mount of operations

pick means keep commit and change nothing

here is all of the supported command modes

• pick, keep and no changes
• drop, remove this commit
• reword, change message
• edit, change content and message
• squash, merge commit into the previous one (ask commit message for merged commit, if not edit, use original by default)
• fixup, same to squash, but auto use original message
