What is the Git reword command, and how do you use it? In this video I'll show you how to use Git reword to edit your old commit messages. Reword is a sub-command of interactive rebase which allows you to manipulate historical commits. Reword is a form of editing or updating Git history. In this tutorial I'll explain how to use reword to update any commit's message (including the most used commands "git commit --amend" and "git rebase -i"). As always, I'll illustrate the concepts with live animations alongside the actual commands.
