Learn how to rewrite Git history - Amend, Reword, Delete, Reorder, Squash and Split

[@themoderncoder]

I HAVE MORE GIT VIDEOS! kzbin.info/aero/PLfU9XN7w4tFwKwh_xPSQ_X1-hROQEpHnM. Additionally, a written reference for this video is available on my blog: www.themoderncoder.com/git/

[@tomng92]

Pure gold! Learnt faster in those 12 mins than reading any book.

[@Trhnetesiuz]

3 hours of other videos in 13 minutes. Awesome. Thanks a lot

[@1murkeybadmayn]

Your style of teaching is one I've always wished for - the instructions but alongside an actual visualisation of what is happening in the end goal. I've been struggling to understand my teacher but thank you for this video and others.

[@RedFenceAnime]

put the timestamps before the topic in the description and KZbin will automatically add chapters to the progress bar 0:00 - intro 0:40 - Amending commits 2:04 - Rewording commits 4:14 - Deleting commits 5:34 - Reordering commits 7:04 - Squashing commits 9:09 - Splitting commits The "0:00" is needed

[@ozen8499]

thx

[@themoderncoder]

Good tip thanks. I went ahead and made those changes

[@gaofan2856]

Perfect video, short, precise with visualization. Not like telling the history of git for 40 minutes, and then start explaining things like others do

[@abdul-aleemelmuzoghi4133]

Been 2 days trying to learn how to delete a commit and you just came and and did it in 2 minutes

[@slavoie]

Thanks for this! If you stick to Vim as the default Git text editor, you may want to know about the following commands as a starting point: gg → Go to top of buffer/file. ddp → Delete a line and put it below the current one (to re-order commit). `dd` deletes a line while `p` put it below the current line. ddkP → Delete a line and put it above the current one. `dd` deletes a line, `k` moves up one line and `P` (uppercase) pastes above the current line. h / j / k / l → Move around à la Vim. x → Delete a character xp → Switch the order of two characters. G → Go to the end of the buffer/file. ZZ → Save and quit buffer. For this purpose, same as `:wq` but less keystrokes ;). There's obviously much more to learn, but that should be useful to at least do some basic operations. Also, when splitting a commit, a single file might be part of two commits. So to commit only part of a file, there's also an interactive staging mode: git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Interactive-Staging

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

Great comment but I'm surprised you didn't include 'dw'. No one should be backspacing a word in Vim

[@joshuakoehler6457]

@@SomeKZbinGuy I thought a similar thing, but would recommend 'cw' (change word) instead, which enters you into insert mode after deleting the word. So it is equivalent to 'dw' + 'i'

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

@@joshuakoehler6457 It would seem you know a tiny bit more Vim than I.

[@vaibhavgarg5607]

Was stuck on a PR as I was unable to edit a commit's changes this video saved me. Really helpful

[@losrobbosful]

This was gold, helped me a lot. Definitely great teaching abilities.

[@arthurh2064]

I wish you wouldn't have stopped uploading git tutorials, they are by far the best I've seen and I've seen many

[@peterdoyle1994]

Best, clearest git tutorials by a country mile. Thanks.

[@moe-eh5vi]

I like that this video is recorded in a kitchen. Makes it feel less intimidating. Also very clear explanations.

[@vishnuthamizharasan6192]

I have searched for answers and videos I didn't get anywhere, but the way you explain git is amazing and one of the best explanations ever seen. You are soo good at Git man. Thanks for the Video. Please make more videos. I love it

[@krazee_aznnn]

I mean, so many comments before have said this, but I need to confirm: this tutorial was more clear and understandable than the articles and other videos I watched about rebasing and changing Git commit history! I get it now!

[@thesavagesalmon9464]

This channel is COMPLETELY underrated. You deserve a tonne more subscribers. Keep consistently making quality videos such as this, and you will make it bigger in no time!

[@kapaaaau]

This is the best explanation I have seen for Git's commands, and they are real world solutions for real world problems. Thank you very much.

[@m4rt_]

Holy shit, git rebase is powerful. I will keep this in mind whenever I want to fix something in my git history.

[@daggerok]

1) in vim instead of :wq you can use :x its shorter 2) when explaining drop, you should mention, that changes in README file also will be reverted, not only commit message from git history, so people who wants only remove commit message, but not changes should use fixup 3) in vim, instead of cut-paste, use copy (press yy on line to copy in command mode) + paste (press p on line above place where you want paste) + delete (press: dd on line to delete)

[@mariano.zunino]

3) dd and P was all he need. No yank was needed in this video.

[@Andriak2]

To clarify in 3) dd is like cut, yy is like copy, p is like paste (but using registers instead of clipboard)

[@d-e-v-esh]

This is the best video by far I have seen on KZbin. Thank you so much man....

[@alpavaidya412]

The animation is what is required to understand Git commands...thanks for making the effort to make them to explain....please make more videos on Git

[@gabrielsoloman5000]

best series on non-basic git, congrats

Can't express how thankful I am to you. So accurate and informative. Thank you indeed

[@codewithsub5083]

This is the best tutorial of git I have ever seen. Thanks man

[@cddrury]

Great explanation and the graphical representation you used while typing the commands made it much easier to understand from a visual perspective. Keep up the good work!

[@VKD007]

i fixed something today by manual merging with dev branch if i knew this before i wouldnt need to do manual work. Thanks man nice videos

Hidden gems of youtube.

[@najimali32]

Your Git Videos are really helping me to play with my commits & branch at work. Thank you so much.

[@darkphoenix68]

I came to Git from SVN -- and the ability to modify history was probably the hardest thing to wrap my head around. Not only that it was possible, but that there were situations where it is actually desirable! Now ... well, I could not go back to SVN! 🙂

[@alexanderjesusvargas5998]

It is crazy this is free content!

[@nikolajovanovic1140]

Very good video. Well explained. Thank you!

[@nrmlkmrks]

Awesome video! Great example of explaining stuff to the point with really good examples.

[@backpropagation8365]

I think we can also go directly to the commit by git checkout . This will give us a detached HEAD. Then you do all you need - unstage, add, and recommit etc. Then attach the HEAD to a temporary branch and merge/rebase it with some exisiting branch. But I guess the interactive rebase is much easier? By the way video is great. Thanks.

[@GuillermoAguilarCruz]

Thanks, you really know how to explain in a faster and cooler way. Just one question, how can I perform these operations if I have previously pushed my changes?

[@mohammadanas3320]

[@demian256able]

excelent vídeo. very clear explained. that kind of graphics are a very good idea.

[@predatorjoutube]

Thank you! I like when you show the graphic, because it explains exactly what is git doing under the hood. It would be greate if you could explain how does command "pick" work combined for instance with a remote master? What is the efficient way to pick a commit between many commits, add changes and push it to origin master. How can we manipulate the history of commits, which were already pushed to origin master? Thank you for your response.

[@themoderncoder]

Any sort of rewriting of commits that have already been pushed to remote master is not recommended. That's why you saw me in the video working mostly with commits on a local feature branch, because it's dangerous to rewrite history that is shared upstream to other collaborators. If you absolutely need to rewrite commits that have been pushed to remote branches, you can use "git push --force" but you'd need to have every other collaborator do a hard reset of their local repos. If you do this just note that every action that I went over in the video is destructive (even rewriting the commit message wipes away and rebuilds the original commit) so rewrite remote history at your own risk
