Editing Commits

While you can rub changes in and out of commits, you can also edit the commit message of any commit in your workspace quite easily.

Editing Commit Messages

You can edit commit messages with the but describe command. So if we have this status:

╭┄00 [Unassigned Changes] 
┊
┊╭┄nd [user-bookmarks]  
┊●   464aae4 add user changes    
┊●   ca81308 create bookmarks    
├╯
┊
● 204e309 (common base) [origin/main] Merge pull request #10 from schacon/sc-description

Then you can edit the message of any commit by running but describe <sha>, which will open up your editor of choice with the existing commit message and when you exit the editor, replace that message in the commit and rebase everything above it.

The editor would look something like this:

add user changes

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
#
# Changes in this commit:
#       modified:   app/models/user.rb
#       modified:   config/routes.rb
#
~
~
~
~

Pretty simple.
